Is It an Eye Emergency?

If you’re unsure if an eye injury is an emergency, it’s best to treat it like it is until you get help. Even minor injuries can lead to severe vision problems if left unchecked, so make sure you speak to one of our team members first.

Punctures, Scratches, & Scrapes

Punctures, scratches, cuts, and scrapes are serious eye emergencies that can lead to permanent vision loss. For these injuries, we recommend contacting your nearest emergency room for help.

A serious enough impact to your eye or eye area can cause bruising, otherwise known as a black eye. While this issue can be minor, we recommend speaking to our doctors to ensure the injury won’t cause further complications.

Chemical exposure to your eyes can cause various painful symptoms and may also lead to permanent vision loss.

If you get a chemical in your eye, flush your eyes with lukewarm, clean water for 15 minutes and call either our team or an emergency room for help.

Small particles like dirt and dust can cause irritation and discomfort. Your eye’s natural defense system uses blinking and tears to flush out foreign bodies, but larger items, like wood and metal shavings, can damage your eye. You might need a doctor to remove them.

Certain eye diseases like closed-angle glaucoma and wet macular degeneration may cause sudden vision loss. If you have a risk of developing these diseases and have sudden vision loss, please get in touch with our team immediately.
