Some eye emergencies need a hospital without delay. Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department for severe injuries, chemical splashes, anything that has penetrated the eye, or sudden loss of vision together with other stroke-like symptoms. Do not wait to call our clinic in these situations.
Many other urgent concerns, such as a painful red eye, a suspected infection, or a particle that will not rinse out, are worth a call to our clinic. We cannot promise a same-day appointment, but our team will listen carefully and help you find timely care. If we cannot see you, we will suggest other options.
