What Defines An Eye Emergency?

An eye emergency includes any situation involving sudden vision loss, eye trauma, or the appearance of visual disturbances that might threaten your sight. Common examples of eye emergencies include:

• Foreign objects in the eye
• Eye infections
• Chemical burns
• Severe eye pain
• Cuts or scratches to the eye or eyelid
• Sudden onset of floaters or flashes of light
• Sudden blurry vision or loss of vision

What To Do In An Eye Emergency

If you experience any of the above symptoms or other dramatic changes in your vision, it’s absolutely crucial to act immediately:

• Do not touch, rub, or apply pressure to your eye.
• Never attempt to remove any objects stuck in the eye. Doing so can easily damage your eye further. Always let a professional remove a foreign object, no matter how large or painful.
• If chemicals have come into contact with your eye, rinse it gently with saline solution if you can access it; otherwise, use clean water.
• If available, shield your eye from light or physical contact by covering it with a sterile dressing.

After taking these initial steps, contact Ranch Road Vision Source immediately for an urgent appointment. If you cannot reach us or if advised, proceed to the nearest emergency room.
