When Should You Seek Care?

Not all eye issues feel urgent at first, but many can become serious without proper attention. If something doesn’t feel right with your eyes or vision, it’s always best to speak with an eyecare professional.

Quick assessment and treatment can make a big difference in preserving vision. You should seek urgent care if you experience:

• Flashes of light or new floaters
• Blood in or around the eye
• Sudden or severe eye pain
• Head or eye trauma
• An impact to the eye
• Chemical exposure
• Cuts, scratches, or foreign objects in the eye
• Sudden partial or complete vision loss

If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re happy to help you decide the safest next step.
