Urgent Eye Help for South Richvale
A painful, red, or injured eye is stressful. If you are near South Richvale, call our North York clinic and our team will help you understand what to do next.
Calm Guidance When It Counts
Not every eye problem needs a hospital, and not every one can wait. Dr. Mustafa Rawji and our team help patients from South Richvale sort through urgent symptoms and assess concerns such as eye infections, scratches, and foreign objects.
Our team can help you decide whether to come to the clinic or seek hospital care.
Timely attention to eye injuries and infections can lower the risk of further complications.
Some eye symptoms point to an underlying health issue, and your optometrist will watch for that.
What to Expect
Every urgent situation is a little different, but our approach follows the same careful steps.
Call the clinic and describe your symptoms, when they began, and any injury or exposure.
Our team helps you decide whether to visit the clinic or go to a hospital emergency department.
At the clinic, your optometrist examines the eye and explains what is causing your symptoms.
Leave with clear instructions and know when to return or call if things change.
Around the House
Gardening, home projects, and playing with children can all lead to an unexpected scratch or speck of debris in the eye. For residents near South Richvale, these minor accidents are common, but the discomfort can be intense. Resist the urge to rub, and call our clinic for advice.
Your optometrist can examine the eye closely, look for scratches or embedded particles, and recommend care. If something is found, we will explain the treatment plan and what to expect while it heals. A follow-up visit may be suggested to confirm recovery.
Our front desk can help you plan an urgent visit.
Red Eyes and Discharge
A red, sticky, or painful eye can have several causes, and some need treatment sooner than others. Contact lens wearers should be especially careful and remove their lenses right away. Calling the clinic lets our team guide you on how soon you should be seen.
If your symptoms are severe, include a chemical splash or penetrating injury, or come with sudden vision loss and stroke-like symptoms, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department. These situations need immediate hospital care. For other urgent concerns, our team is here to help you find the right next step.
Call before arriving with a red or painful eye.

Dr rawji and patty are great. I’ve been with them for over 10 years. He was concerned of an issue that I was getting and sent me to a specialist. Patty always make sure that I get Stylish classes every couple of years. Their new office is nice and it located close to 404 and 401.
