When Do You Need Emergency Eye Care?  

Urgent eye problems can range from mild to severe, but some can quickly escalate. It’s best to see a doctor as soon as possible, as delaying emergency eye care can lead to serious damage to your eyes.  

If you’re experiencing a sudden change in vision, blurry vision, loss of vision, or irregular eye movements, contact our office right away. Other signs you may need emergency eye care include extreme sensitivity to light, burning or stinging eyes, red or bloodshot eyes, or getting something stuck in your eyes.  

If you’re dealing with an urgent eye problem, take steps to avoid making the problem worse:

  • Wash your hands to help avoid spreading infection.  
  • Don’t try to remove something stuck in your eye.   
  • Avoid touching your eyes, which can cause increased irritation.  
  • Don’t drive or operate machinery if your vision is impaired.
