When do I need emergency eye care?
Any sudden vision change, eye pain or discomfort, flashes of light, a sudden onset of floaters, or sudden loss of vision are all signs that you may be experiencing an eye emergency. Other examples of eye emergencies include eye trauma, chemical burns, eye infections, and a foreign body in the eye. These issues should not be ignored and should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your eyesight.
What to do in an eye emergency
If you experience an eye emergency, it’s important to stay calm and act quickly to avoid permanent damage:
