Examples of Eye Care Emergencies

Various eye care emergencies can occur, and it's important to know when to seek help from an optometrist. Examples of eye care emergencies include:

  1. Foreign Body in the Eye - When a foreign object, such as a piece of metal, enters the eye, it can cause pain, discomfort, and even vision loss. An optometrist can remove the object and assess any potential damage to the eye.

  2. Eye Infection - Eye infections such as pink eye can cause discomfort and affect vision. An optometrist can prescribe eye drops or other medications to alleviate symptoms and prevent the spread of infection.

  3. Sudden Vision Loss - Sudden vision loss can occur due to various conditions, such as a retinal detachment, optic neuritis, or a stroke. An optometrist can perform a comprehensive eye exam and refer you to a specialist if necessary.

  4. Trauma or Injury - If you experience trauma to your eye, it's important to have this evaluated as soon as possible. Trauma can be a hit to the eye, a ball, or a car accident. Even if you don't notice a change in your vision or experience discomfort, trauma can lead to retinal detachments, cataracts and inflammations.
