Eye injuries and sudden vision changes deserve prompt attention. The Eye Care Studio provides urgent eye care for a range of unexpected concerns, from scratched and painful eyes to new vision changes.
If you’re experiencing an emergency, please call our office rather than using an online form. For severe trauma or a life-threatening injury, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Many urgent eye concerns can be evaluated by an optometrist in Delaware, particularly when the problem is limited to the eye. Serious trauma and severe or life-threatening symptoms require emergency medical care.
Call The Eye Care Studio promptly for urgent but stable eye concerns such as a scratched eye, painful or red eye, foreign object, or sudden visual symptoms.
An eye emergency is an injury, symptom, or sudden change that requires prompt evaluation to protect your eye health or vision. Even when you’re not sure how serious something is, a sudden or significant change is worth taking seriously.
Call us immediately for concerns such as:
Floaters can look like spots, specks, strands, or cobweb-like shapes moving through your vision, while flashes may appear as brief flickers or streaks of light. A sudden onset of new flashes or floaters deserves prompt attention.
If new flashes or floaters appear with a shadow, curtain-like area, or change in your vision, seek urgent evaluation. These symptoms can sometimes be associated with a retinal problem and shouldn’t be ignored.
From a scratched eye to an unexpected foreign object, eye injuries can happen at home, at work, or while enjoying your favorite activities. Our Delaware eye doctor can evaluate many eye injuries, determine what structures may be affected, and recommend appropriate treatment or referral.
If you experience severe trauma, a penetrating injury, or a chemical injury, seek emergency medical attention immediately rather than waiting for an appointment.
The Eye Care Studio offers after-hours emergency eye care because urgent eye concerns don’t always happen between 8 and 4. If an unexpected eye problem develops outside our regular hours, emergency support may be available.
You know when something about your eyes doesn’t feel right. If you experience an injury, sudden visual symptoms, significant discomfort, or another urgent concern, call The Eye Care Studio. Do not use an online contact form or email for an eye emergency.
