Don't forget - our office offers immediate care for urgent eye problems, and will attempt to see you the same day if possible. Seeing your optometrist is a better choice than an urgent care center, because most eye problems can be easily diagnosed by looking at the eye with magnification - called a slit lamp exam- that all eye doctors have, but primary care or urgent care providers do not.
Symptoms you should urgently seek care for:
- new redness, irritation, or discharge
- new flashes or floaters
- bumps or swelling of the eyelid (commonly called a stye)
- chemicals or foreign bodies in the eye
