What To Do If You Have an Eye Emergency

First things first. Don’t panic! Staying calm is the best way to help you think straight and help those around you to remain calm. Often, it’s not necessary to go to an emergency room for eye emergencies. In fact, the vast majority of people who go to the emergency room for eye care could have received treatment from their local optometrist instead.

If you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing an eye emergency, give us a call immediately! Delay may increase the risk of serious complications and may result in vision loss.

Until you see your eye doctor or seek urgent care, avoid the following:

  • Don’t try to remove an embedded object out of your eye
  • If your eye is injured, don’t press on it or rub it
  • Dry cotton and sharp instruments such as tweezers should never be used on the eye.

Whether you’ve had a workplace accident or an at-home incident, our eye doctors are here to help

Love this place. The staff is always friendly, polite, and helpful. Wide range of frames for any bud... get. They're informative during exams as well as after in selecting the right lenses.

Wow! I’ve never received a more perfect pair of Bifocal lenses since I’ve been old. I get my eyes ... checked once a year. Thank you! I’m paralyzed and the staff and business were pretty accessible.
