Frequently Asked Questions
What symptoms require emergency eye care?
Sudden vision changes or loss, intense eye pain, flashes of light, new floaters, eye injuries, chemical exposure, infections, and sudden swelling or redness may require urgent evaluation.

We offer same-day emergency eye appointments whenever possible. Availability may vary, so we recommend contacting the clinic as soon as an urgent concern develops.

Do sudden flashes or new floaters need to be checked?
Yes. A sudden increase in floaters or flashes can sometimes be associated with a retinal problem and should be examined promptly.

Some mild eye infections may resolve without treatment, but others can worsen or cause complications. An eye examination can determine the likely cause and whether treatment is needed.
