Questions
Frequently asked questions
What counts as an eye emergency?
Sudden vision loss, eye pain, a chemical splash, an object in the eye, new flashes or a shower of floaters, or an eye injury are all reasons to be seen urgently. Call us right away.
Should I go to the ER or an optometrist for an eye problem?
For most eye injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes, an optometrist is equipped to diagnose and treat you quickly. For severe trauma or chemical burns, seek emergency medical care immediately.
