Common Eye Emergencies That Need Immediate Attention

If you’re asking, “Should I get this checked out?” the answer is probably yes. Common eye emergencies include:

  • Sudden or partial loss of vision

  • Flashes of light or new floaters

  • Eye trauma or impact

  • Foreign object in the eye

  • Eye pain, pressure, or redness

  • Chemical exposure

  • Signs of infection (redness, discharge, light sensitivity)

  • Swelling around the eye or eyelid

If you're unsure, call us. We can help you decide if immediate care is needed.

Emergency Eye Visits Include Diagnosis, Treatment, and Next Steps

Our licensed optometrists will:

  • Review your symptoms and medical history.

  • Perform a focused eye exam using slit-lamp microscopy, retinal imaging, or intraocular pressure testing as needed.

  • Provide treatment or refer you for further care if necessary.

You'll leave with answers, next steps, and a care plan tailored to your condition.
