Common Eye Emergencies We Treat
Foreign Objects in the Eye
Foreign objects such as dust, metal shavings, or glass fragments can become lodged in the eye, causing immediate discomfort, pain, and potential eye damage. Our eye care professionals can safely and effectively remove foreign objects from the eye using special tools and techniques.
We also provide thorough exams to ensure that no residual damage or infection occurs, followed by appropriate treatment to promote healing and prevent complications.
Eye Infections
Eye infections, including conjunctivitis (pink eye), keratitis, and styes, can cause significant discomfort and impair vision. Conjunctivitis can be bacterial, viral, or allergic, leading to redness, itching, and discharge. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent the spread of these infections and protect your vision.
Our emergency eye doctors offer comprehensive care for eye infections, including prescription medications, hygiene advice, and follow-up care to ensure complete recovery.
Corneal Abrasions
Corneal abrasions occur when the cornea, the clear, protective outer layer of the eye, is scratched or damaged. This can be caused by accidental pokes, rubbing the eyes with foreign particles, or contact lens misuse. Symptoms include severe pain, tearing, redness, light sensitivity, and a sensation of something being in the eye.
Our immediate treatment options for corneal abrasions include cleaning the affected area, pain management, and antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection.
How to Handle an Eye Emergency
If you experience an eye emergency, follow these steps:
- Remain Calm: Stay as calm as possible to avoid further injury or stress.
- Avoid Rubbing Your Eye: Rubbing can cause additional damage, especially if a foreign object or chemical is in your eye. Instead, blink gently or use clean water to flush the eye.
- Do Not Apply Pressure: Applying pressure to an injured eye can worsen the damage.
- Remove Contact Lenses: If you wear contact lenses, remove the lenses carefully. However, do not attempt to remove a contact lens if it is difficult or painful to do so.
- Cover the Eye: If you have a cut or puncture wound, gently cover your eye with a clean cloth or sterile bandage.
- Avoid Self-Treatment: Do not attempt to treat eye injuries on your own.
- Seek Immediate Care: Contact us immediately or visit our clinic for prompt attention. Otherwise, head to your nearest emergency room.
