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

Very professional and friendly. No wait time. I had a problem with my glasses and they worked with m... e on that.
Britt M. - Aug 12, 2026
My son had the best experience with Dr Wang and staff today. He is autistic, a total chatterbox, and... very nervous at doc appts of any kind. They were so friendly, patient, and kid hearted. The nurse on staff was so gentle and friendly with my son he was comfortable right off the bat. My son asked a personal question of the doctor in that completely inappropriate way autistic kids do when he met her and she was so sweet/professional about it. Thank you for your patience and kindness. We appreciated you all so much.
