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

Always little to no wait for my appointment to start. Dr. Garner is funny, insightful, a real joy to... converse with, and makes the already quick and easy process here feel even more so!

Wonderful first time visit! The women at the front desk were so kind and all of the staff seemed to ... be functioning very well as a team despite how busy it was, ensuring proper patient care and not rushing through appointments. Kaidan was a fantastic tech! He answered all my questions expertly and explained every step of each test we did. The test equipment seemed more advanced than that of other doctors offices I've visited, and they actually went over the information collected by each test—I've never before been presented with actual data and images of my eyes until my visit here. It was so interesting to learn in detail rather than just being told my eyes looked healthy. Dr. Pham was also great and my conversations with him were very educational as well. I had concerns with how accurate my previous doctor was, but Dr. Pham was thorough and took great care in adjusting my prescription and helped me determine the perfect contacts for my needs and budget. Anna, who was just delightful, went through ordering options, took measurements for my glasses getting new custom lenses for the frames I already had and loved, and assisted me in all of the post-exam checkout processes. Anna and Kaidan made sure to send me on my way with enough trial contact lenses to last until my order was delivered, and I am excited for my next visit there to try on my glasses with their new lenses! I really appreciate the Family Eye Care team and am happy to become a returning patient with them!
