Eye Emergencies: Immediate Care for Urgent Vision Needs

Responding to Eye Emergencies

At Vivid Visions Optometry, Inc we recognize the critical nature of eye emergencies and are equipped to provide prompt, effective care. Eye emergencies can encompass a range of issues – from sudden vision loss and eye injuries to severe pain or infection – and require immediate attention to prevent lasting damage.

Common Eye Emergencies

Eye emergencies can include, but are not limited to:

• Sudden Loss of Vision: A significant and abrupt reduction in sight.

• Eye Trauma: Injuries caused by accidents, foreign objects, or chemical exposure.

• Severe Pain or Discomfort: Indicating potential infections or inflammations.

• Flashes of Light or Floaters: Especially if they appear suddenly.

• Redness and Swelling: Signs of potential infection or inflammation.

In an eye emergency, time is of the essence. Our clinic, led by Dr. David Antonyan, is prepared to provide immediate assessment and intervention. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately assess your condition and deliver the necessary treatment swiftly.

What to Do in an Eye Emergency

In case of an eye emergency:

1. Don’t Panic: Stay as calm as possible.

2. Avoid Self-Treatment: Don’t attempt to treat the problem yourself, as this can sometimes cause more harm.

3. Protect the Eye: If there’s an injury, try to protect the eye without applying pressure or trying to remove any foreign objects.

4. Seek Immediate Help: Contact our clinic immediately or go to the nearest emergency room if after hours.
