Signs of an Eye Emergency

An eye emergency is any situation in which your vision or eye health could be compromised. Some examples of an eye emergency may include:

Severe allergic reaction
Ocular trauma (being poked, scratched, or hit in the eye)
Foreign object or chemical in the eye
Sudden vision loss
Sudden double vision
New flashing lights, floaters, or blind spots in your vision
Eye pain or excessive light sensitivity
Extreme watering or discharge
An eye that is bleeding or severely bruised

Acting Fast to Protect Your Sight

If you suspect you may have injured your eye or are experiencing any type of eye emergency, always err on the side of caution. It’s much better to go for an emergency appointment and find out nothing is seriously wrong than to avoid seeking help and potentially compromise your vision or eye health.

Always be cautious when it comes to your eye health and vision. Visit us for timely care when you experience an eye emergency.
