What To Do If You Have an Eye Emergency

First things first. Don’t panic! Staying calm is the best way to help you think straight and help those around you to remain calm. Often, it’s not necessary to go to an emergency room for eye emergencies. In fact, the vast majority of people who go to the emergency room for eye care could have received treatment from their local optometrist instead.

If you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing an eye emergency, give us a call immediately! Delay may increase the risk of serious complications and may result in vision loss.

Until you see your eye doctor or seek urgent care, avoid the following:

  • Don’t try to remove an embedded object out of your eye
  • If your eye is injured, don’t press on it or rub it
  • Dry cotton and sharp instruments such as tweezers should never be used on the eye.

Whether you’ve had a workplace accident or an at-home incident, our eye doctors are here to help

I called at 3:30 in the afternoon to schedule an appointment, and was so pleasantly surprised that t... hey were able to see me 40 mins later. From the person taking my information over the phone to the check in process at reception, everything was so easy. I saw Dr Nguyen, and she was amazing! She was so caring about my issue, and extremely thorough in the exam. I could not have had a better experience than Legacy Vision!
