Types of Eye Emergencies
Determining whether to call us or go straight to the emergency room can be tricky. Reach out immediately if you experience sudden eye pain, flashes or floaters, redness, blurry vision, or other unusual symptoms.
There are different types of eye emergencies, including:
- Physical trauma: Any blow to the eye can cause bruising, pain, bleeding, or vision changes. Immediate evaluation can prevent long-term damage.
- Chemical exposure: Exposure to chemicals like bleach, chlorine, battery acid, or fertilizers can severely damage your eyes. Always use protective eyewear and seek prompt care if contact occurs.
- Foreign particles: Small particles in the eye may be washed away with warm water or eye drops. However, objects like metal or wood can cause serious corneal damage and should be evaluated immediately by an eye care professional.
- Severe eye emergencies: Punctures, cuts, or deep scratches to the eye are considered severe emergencies. These injuries can cause immediate vision loss, bleeding, and other critical symptoms. Visit your nearest emergency room or contact emergency services right away.
