SYMPTOMS OF AN EYE EMERGENCY
If you’ve experienced an eye emergency, you likely won’t need to think twice about the symptoms before seeking medical attention. However, staying aware of what can happen to you will help you preserve and protect your vision.
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, please give us a call or head to your nearest emergency room:
- Sudden vision loss or fluctuation
- Severe burning, stinging, or itching
- Misaligned eyes and pupils
- One or both eyes bulging or sticking out
- Severe pain
- Bleeding or bruising in or around the eye
- New or severe headaches
WHAT TO DO & WHAT NOT TO DO
The most common eye injuries include getting something stuck in your eye, getting chemicals in your eye, and falling or blunt force trauma. Knowing how to react when you’re experiencing an eye emergency can help protect you from permanent damage and vision loss.

- Trying to remove objects embedded in the eye tissue or skin
- Using metal tools like tweezers in your eye
- Using medications or ointments without medical direction
