Did you know that your optometrist should be the first person you see with any vision or eye related emergencies?

We can usually see you a lot sooner than the emergency room and have the necessary instruments to accurately diagnose the emergency.

The following are examples of, but not limited to, ocular emergencies:

• Foreign bodies in the eye

• Sudden vision loss and blur

• Sudden peripheral vision loss

• Eye pain

• Flashes and/or floaters in vision

• Chemical exposure in or around your eyes

• Swelling in or around your eyes
