Urgent Eye Concerns Near York Mills
If your eye suddenly hurts, turns red, or your vision changes, York Mills residents can call our North York clinic for advice on what to do next.
Prompt, Practical Help
Eye symptoms that appear suddenly should not be ignored. Call Optima Eye Care at (416) 497-3705 and our team will help patients from York Mills understand whether to come in, how soon, or whether a hospital is the better choice.
Describe your symptoms by phone so we can point you toward the right level of care.
Corneal scratches, eye infections, and foreign objects are among the concerns an optometrist can assess.
If your symptoms call for hospital care, we will say so clearly so you do not lose time.
What to Expect
An urgent visit focuses on understanding what happened and protecting your sight.
Tell your optometrist what happened, when it started, and what you have done since.
We check how well you can see to understand whether your vision has been affected.
Your optometrist looks carefully at the affected eye and explains the findings.
You will receive guidance on next steps, including follow-up or referral if needed.
Red Flags
Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department for a severe eye injury, a chemical splash, an object that has penetrated the eye, or sudden loss of vision along with stroke-like symptoms. Sudden vision loss with facial drooping, arm weakness, or trouble speaking is a medical emergency. If a chemical gets in your eye, start rinsing with clean water right away.
For York Mills residents, the nearest hospital emergency department may be closer than our clinic, and in these situations speed matters most. You can follow up with us afterward for ongoing eye care. Our role is to help with urgent concerns that are not life-threatening.
Our team can help you decide where to go.
When to Call Us
A scratch from a branch while gardening, grit that will not wash out, or a red, sore eye that came on quickly are good reasons to call us. Do not rub the eye, and do not try to remove anything stuck to it yourself. If you wear contacts, take them out and wear your glasses instead.
Our team will ask about your symptoms and help you decide on next steps. We cannot promise a same-day appointment, but we will help you find appropriate care. If you are asked to come in from York Mills, consider having someone drive you if your vision is affected.
Call ahead so we can prepare for your visit.

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.
