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

What is considered an eye emergency?

  • Chemical spills in the eye
  • Foreign object embedded in the eye
  • Sudden appearance of light flashes or floaters

Does an eye infection require urgent care?

Symptoms of an eye infection typically include itching, burning, redness, crusty and watery eyes. See a Perrysburg eye doctor if your symptoms last over 4 days or if you experience intense pain, redness, blurred vision or light sensitivity.

However, to scratch your cornea while attempting to get an object out which can cause further site-threatening complications.

So the best thing you can do in this kind of eye emergency is to get to your eye doctor in Perrysburg as soon as possible.

Dr Lovas was very knowledgeable and informative when it came to treatment for our son. We brought hi... m in because we thought he had scratched his cornea or eyeball and we found out he just has allergic conjunctivitis which was very re assuring to hear as a parent that your child has nothing serious going on. He gave us eye drops to help our son. I will definitely be bringing our child back when it’s time for his first eye exam!
