Hospital or Clinic?
Go straight to the nearest hospital emergency department, or call 911, for chemical splashes, objects that have penetrated the eye, serious facial injuries, or sudden vision loss with other stroke-like symptoms. If a chemical gets into your eye, rinse it with clean water immediately and keep rinsing while you get help. Do not press on an injured 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.
