When Should You Seek Urgent Eye Care?
What Does the Assessment Include?
Your assessment begins with a discussion of your symptoms, when they started and how any injury occurred. Please mention contact lens use, recent eye surgery and any exposure to chemicals, metal or other foreign material.
Depending on the situation, the examination may include vision testing, pupil assessment and a careful examination of the eye surface and internal structures. Additional scans, imaging or specialist referral may be arranged when needed.
Seek immediate assessment for sudden loss or significant reduction of vision, severe eye pain, chemical splashes or injuries involving sharp objects or high-speed particles.
New flashes, a sudden increase in floaters or a curtain-like shadow across your vision also require urgent attention. A painful red eye, particularly with blurred vision or marked light sensitivity, should be assessed promptly.
For an eye emergency, attend the nearest Emergency Department immediately. Do not wait for a routine clinic appointment.
Chemical Splashes
Immediately rinse the eye with plenty of clean, gently running water for at least 20 minutes. Do not delay rinsing while arranging medical help. Take the chemical container or a photograph of its label with you if safe to do so.
Eye Injuries
Do not rub or press on the eye, and do not attempt to remove an embedded or penetrating object. Seek immediate medical attention.
Arrange someone to take you for treatment. Do not drive yourself if your vision is affected.
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the condition. It may include medication, removal of a superficial foreign body, a procedure or referral for further specialist care.
Follow the instructions given and attend follow-up appointments so healing and vision can be monitored. Avoid contact lenses until your doctor confirms that it is safe to resume wearing them.
Return for urgent assessment if pain, redness or swelling worsens, or if you develop reduced vision, new flashes, increasing floaters or a shadow across your sight.
