Prompt attention to eye injuries and infections can help lower the risk of lasting problems.
Sometimes an urgent eye symptom points to another health issue. An exam can help identify it.
What to Expect
Urgent appointments focus on the problem that brought you in. Here is a general outline.
Explain when your symptoms began, what may have caused them, and how your vision has been affected.
We check how well you can see so changes are recorded and can be followed.
Your optometrist looks for scratches, infection, foreign material, or other causes of your symptoms.
We explain what we found, recommend care, review warning signs, and arrange referral if needed.
When to Seek Help
Contact us promptly for eye pain, a scratch, redness that does not settle, discharge, light sensitivity, or a feeling that something is in your eye. Contact lens wearers should remove their lenses and call if any of these occur. Hoping symptoms will clear on their own can sometimes allow a problem to worsen.
Some situations need a hospital right away. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for a chemical splash, an object that has penetrated the eye, a serious blow to the eye, or sudden vision loss with other stroke-like symptoms. For chemical exposure, rinse the eye with clean water while help is on the way.
