When to see an emergency eye doctor 

Eye problems can range from mild to severe, but you won’t know the extent of the issue until you get your eyes checked. If you don’t visit an emergency eye doctor near you, it could result in serious and potentially lasting consequences for your eye health and vision.    

Call our office immediately if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

• Double vision
• Itchy eyes
• Blurry vision or sudden changes in vision
• Extreme sensitivity to light
• A burning or stinging sensation in the eyes
• Red or bloodshot eyes
• Eye discharge
• Bruising or bleeding around the eyes
• Loss of vision
• Irregular eye movement

These symptoms could be a sign of several different eye issues, such as an eye infection, retinal damage, corneal defect, or something stuck in your eye. Some of these problems may also be contagious or worsen over time, so it is important to seek emergency eye care as soon as possible.

What to do in an emergency

While you wait to see our emergency eye doctor, it’s important to take steps to avoid making the problem worse: 

• Wash your hands to prevent spreading germs.

• Do not try to remove objects stuck in your eye on your own.

• Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes, even if they feel irritated.

• Do not drive if your vision is impaired.

Your eye doctor will start with a comprehensive eye exam to determine the problem. Depending on the nature of your eye emergency, your visit may also include more specialized tests for an accurate diagnosis.

Once your doctor has a better understanding of your eye problem, they will create a treatment plan that may include eye drops or other remedies. With proper care, many of these issues will be resolved quickly. In the case of disease, a more in-depth eye disease management plan may be required.
