Recognizing Eye Emergencies


Knowing how to identify an emergency eye care situation can make a significant difference in preserving your vision. Here are some signs that should prompt you to seek immediate attention:

Sudden Vision Changes

Any sudden loss of vision, double vision, or the appearance of light flashes and floaters requires urgent eye care evaluation.

Eye Infections

While not all eye infections are urgent care situations, symptoms like severe redness, pain, discharge, or swelling after eye surgery should not be ignored. We can provide prompt relief to your infection.

Foreign Object Removal

If something enters your eye, avoid rubbing it. Seek professional help immediately, as improper removal can lead to further complications. We can help remove the foreign body quickly and precisely to preserve your long-term vision.

Corneal Abrasions

If you suspect a corneal abrasion, characterized by a feeling of a foreign object in your eye, excessive tearing, redness, and sensitivity to light, it's crucial to seek immediate care, as corneal abrasions can lead to complications if left untreated. Seek out the expert care of Uptown Vision.

Eye Trauma

Whether from an accident, impact, or foreign object, trauma to the eye should be assessed immediately to prevent lasting damage. Contact us immediately, and let the professionals take care of your eye trauma emergency.

Sudden Eye Pain

Unexplained or intense eye pain should be addressed without delay, as it could signal a serious underlying condition that necessitates emergency eye care.
