What an Emergency Feels Like

If you’re experiencing an eye care emergency at the moment, chances are you’re probably aware.

The following symptoms indicate that you should see your eye doctor as quickly as possible:

A sudden decrease or loss of vision
Burning or stinging sensation
Pupils that are suddenly different sizes
One eye is not moving normally or with the other eye
One eye is sticking out or bulging
Pain in your eye or around your eye
Double vision or feeling like images are overlapping
Redness or irritation in or around your eye
Sudden sensitivity to light
Bruising around your eye
Bleeding from your eye or blood in the white part (sclera)
Discharge that may look mucusy
Sudden and severe itching
New or severe headaches

What to Do

If you experience an eye care emergency, there are different steps you should take while you seek medical attention, depending on the injury.

Chemicals

If you splash chemicals or get aerosols in your eye, please rinse the affected eye with lukewarm water as soon as possible, and seek help from us.

Foreign Objects

If something has lodged itself in your eye (maybe a pesky piece of grass from mowing the lawn), there’s a chance you could rinse it out with lukewarm water without it causing further damage.

If you can see that an object has lodged in your eye or it has punctured your eye, please do not touch it. Leave it there, do not apply pressure, and get medical attention as quickly as possible.

Seems Random

Sometimes eye emergencies aren’t caused by anything obvious. If you have a sudden change in your vision or other symptoms as listed above, seek medical attention quickly.
