Guidance by phone

Tell us your symptoms and we will advise you on how and where to be seen.

Clear red flags

We help you recognize when to call 911 or go straight to a hospital emergency department.

What to Expect

If you come in for an urgent visit.

An urgent appointment focuses on finding the cause and protecting your eye. Here is what it usually involves.

  1. Describe your symptoms

    Tell us what happened, when it started, and whether anything entered your eye.

  2. Measure your vision

    We check how clearly you see as a baseline for follow-up.

  3. Examine your eye

    Your optometrist closely examines the eye to identify what is causing your symptoms.

  4. Treat and follow up

    We explain recommended treatment, any referral, and when you should be rechecked.

Act Quickly

Severe injuries need emergency services.

If you have a chemical splash, a penetrating injury, or a severe blow to the eye, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department. The same applies to sudden vision loss with stroke-like symptoms such as weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking. Do not wait for a clinic appointment in these situations.

For other urgent concerns, like an eye that is scratchy, red, and watering, or a speck you cannot rinse out, call our clinic. Try not to rub the eye in the meantime. Contact lens wearers should remove their lenses if the eye is painful or red.

Speak with our team
What should I do first if I have an eye emergency near Willowdale East?

For urgent but non-severe concerns, call us at (416) 497-3705. We are at 105 Gordon Baker Road, Suite 101, North York, ON M2H 3P8. For severe injuries, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

Which situations need a hospital rather than the clinic?

Chemical splashes, penetrating injuries, severe trauma, and sudden vision loss with other stroke-like symptoms need 911 or the nearest hospital emergency department.

Can you remove something stuck in my eye?

Our optometrist can assess and help with foreign objects on the eye surface. Call first so we can advise you, and do not try to remove anything embedded in the eye yourself.

Is a red, sticky eye an emergency?

Redness with discharge may be an infection. Call our clinic so we can advise you on how soon you should be seen.

Do you guarantee same-day appointments?

We cannot guarantee same-day availability, but calling early gives our team the best chance to help or direct you to appropriate care.

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.
