What Constitutes an Eye Emergency?
If you ever experience an eye emergency, call us without delay for guidance and treatment. The quicker you get help, the more likely you’ll be able to preserve your vision and prevent complications.
Eye emergencies include:
- Rapid vision loss
- Unexpected double vision
- Sudden eye redness or pain
- Eye infections such as conjunctivitis (pink eye)
- New appearance of flashes and/or floaters
- Foreign objects in the eye (especially metal or chemicals)
- Corneal abrasions
While waiting for medical assistance, remember these important rules:
- AVOID applying pressure to an injured eye or allowing the affected person to rub their eye(s).
- DO NOT attempt to remove a foreign object positioned on the cornea (the eye's clear surface) or one that seems lodged anywhere within the eye.
- DO NOT use dry cotton (including cotton swabs) or sharp tools (like tweezers) on the eye.
Effective Diagnosis and Treatment for Eye Infections
Eye infections can cause discomfort and blurred vision and may develop suddenly. If you're experiencing redness, itching, discharge, or pain in your eyes, seeking professional care is essential. Our experienced optometrists at Complete Eyecare Associates can effectively diagnose and treat eye infections, providing the relief you need to return to your daily life.
Quick and Safe Foreign Body Removal
Foreign objects in the eye can be painful and potentially damaging if not removed promptly. Attempting to remove them on your own can lead to further injury. Our skilled team offers safe and gentle foreign body removal, ensuring your eyes are free from irritation and potential complications.
Effective Solutions for Corneal Abrasions
Corneal abrasions, or scratches on the eye's surface, can be highly uncomfortable and may affect your vision. It's crucial to address this issue promptly to prevent complications.
Complete Eyecare Associates offers comprehensive care for corneal abrasions, including diagnosis, treatment, and guidance to ensure a full recovery.
