When to Seek Emergency Eye Care
There are many reasons to seek emergency eye care. If you experience sudden onset vision loss, sudden vision changes, notice severe pain or swelling, start seeing double vision, experience trauma or serious injury to the eye, see floaters or flashing lights, or notice blood in the clear parts of the eye, you should receive medical emergency eye care as soon as possible.
At Advanced Eye Surgeons, we’ll ensure you receive a same-day appointment so you can get the care you need.

Common Emergency Eye Care Services
There are a wide variety of reasons to schedule an emergency eye appointment, but some are more common than others. Some of the most common ocular emergency appointments we see at Advanced Eye Surgeons include the following:
Foreign Object in the Eye
If you have a foreign object in your eye, you likely require an emergency eye appointment. This includes any object that can’t be removed by flushing the eye. If the object is embedded in the eye, you will need professional help to remove it and ensure the wound is treated properly.
Chemicals in the Eye
Getting chemicals in the eye can cause severe damage to your vision and eye health. While flushing the eye with water can help with chemical exposure, professional advice is still needed. No matter the chemical, our team can ensure you receive the immediate care you need.
Eye Infection
If left untreated, eye infections can cause severe damage to the eye. That’s why it’s so important to seek out emergency care. Some of the symptoms of an eye infection include redness, discharge, and pain. Receiving treatment as soon as possible ensures you receive a diagnosis and treatment.
Contact Lens Issues
Contact lenses can cause a number of issues with the eye. They can cause abrasions, infections, and various other concerns. If you’re struggling with complications due to contact lenses, don’t hesitate to schedule a same-day appointment with our team at Advanced Eye Surgeons.
Red Eyes & Eye Pain
Red eyes and eye pain can be signs of various eye issues. From allergies and pink eye to corneal ulcers and glaucoma, these symptoms are not something you should ignore. If you’re experiencing moderate to severe redness and pain, schedule a same-day emergency appointment today to receive proper treatment.
