Here’s a closer look at some of the common urgent eye care issues we manage and why you should seek help when you experience any of these symptoms.

Common Reasons for Urgent Eye Care Visits

1. Foreign Body Removals

Accidents can happen in the blink of an eye—literally. Whether you’ve got something in your eye while working on a DIY project or during a day out, foreign bodies can cause discomfort and potentially lead to more serious issues if not removed promptly. Our team is equipped to handle these situations safely and efficiently, ensuring your eye is back to normal as soon as possible.

2. Red Eyes

Redness in the eyes can result from various causes, including infections, allergies, inflammation, contact lens-related adverse events, or underlying conditions. While some cases are minor, others can indicate a more serious issue requiring immediate attention. If you notice persistent redness accompanied by discomfort and/or vision changes, don’t hesitate to reach out for help.

3. Sudden Vision Loss

Experiencing sudden vision loss is alarming and can be a sign of a serious condition. Conditions such as retinal detachment or stroke require urgent evaluation and treatment. Our practice is here to assess your situation promptly and provide the necessary care to protect your vision.

4. Eye Pain

Eye pain can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, and it can stem from various causes, including injury, infections, inflammation, or conditions like acute angle closure glaucoma. If you are experiencing eye pain, it’s important to seek timely care to determine the cause and prevent potential complications.

5. Visual Disturbances

Visual disturbances, such as flashes of light, floaters, double vision or blurred vision, can indicate underlying issues that require prompt attention. These symptoms can be signs of conditions like retinal tears/detachment or migraines, and addressing them early can make a significant difference in outcomes
