Why Immediate Care is Essential
Your eyes are delicate and vulnerable to a variety of emergencies, from injuries and infections to sudden changes in vision. Delaying treatment can lead to complications, permanent damage, or even vision loss. That’s why it’s essential to seek immediate care if you experience any eye-related emergencies.
Our eye clinic prioritizes emergency cases to ensure you receive the care you need as quickly as possible.
Common Eye Emergencies and Conditions
- Eye Infections: Symptoms such as redness, pain, discharge, and swelling could indicate an eye infection that requires prompt treatment to prevent complications.
- Foreign Body Removal: Whether it’s a piece of dust, metal, or other debris, a foreign object in the eye can be both painful and dangerous. We safely remove foreign bodies to prevent further damage.
- Sudden Vision Changes: If you experience a sudden loss of vision, flashes of light, or floaters, it could be a sign of a serious eye condition. Immediate evaluation is necessary to determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
- Eye Injuries: From blunt trauma to chemical exposure, eye injuries require urgent care to prevent long-term damage. Our team will assess the injury and provide the necessary treatment to promote healing and protect your vision.
What to Do During an Eye Emergency
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Contact an eye care specialist or visit an emergency room right away if you experience sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, a foreign object in your eye, chemical exposure, or an eye injury.
- Avoid Rubbing or Pressuring the Eye: Refrain from rubbing or applying pressure to the affected eye, as this can worsen the condition.
- Leave Contact Lenses In: If you’re wearing contact lenses, do not attempt to remove them unless instructed by a healthcare professional, as this could cause additional harm.
- Rinse with Water for Chemical Exposure: If chemicals have come into contact with your eye, rinse it with clean water for at least 15 minutes while seeking help.
- Protect the Eye: If there’s an object in your eye or the eye is injured, try to shield it with a clean cloth or an eye shield without applying pressure, and seek help immediately.
