Symptoms & Reasons to Visit
How We Diagnose
We perform rapid triage and diagnostics including immediate intraocular pressure checks, slit-lamp evaluation of the anterior and posterior segments, and urgent retinal scans.
Treatment Options
- Immediate clinical eye irrigation for chemical splashes to restore surface pH
- Foreign body removal from the cornea or conjunctiva under local anesthesia
- Urgent laser treatment to seal retinal tears and prevent detachment
- Immediate medical or surgical interventions to reduce dangerously high eye pressure
What to Expect During Your Visit
Upon arrival with an emergency symptom, you will be fast-tracked to an immediate evaluation. Numbing drops will be applied instantly if you have pain or a foreign body, and our experienced ophthalmology team will work rapidly to stabilize your eye and protect your vision.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately if a chemical gets in my eye?
Immediately flush your eye with clean, lukewarm tap water or saline solution for at least 15 to 20 minutes without stopping. Do not rub your eye, do not try to bandage it, and have someone transport you directly to our emergency clinic immediately.
Is a sudden increase in floaters an emergency?
Yes. A sudden onset of new floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow in your side vision is a warning sign of a retinal tear or detachment. This requires a dilated eye exam within 24 hours to prevent permanent sight loss.
