When to Seek Emergency Eye Care
Eye emergencies require immediate attention to prevent permanent vision loss. If you experience any of the following symptoms, contact us immediately for same-day care:
What to Do in an Eye Emergency
1. Stay Calm and Call Us
Contact our office immediately at (330) 332-1200. We reserve time each day for emergency appointments and will see you as soon as possible.
2. Do Not Rub Your Eyes
Rubbing can cause further damage, especially if there's a foreign object or injury. Keep your hands away from the affected eye.
3. Protect the Eye
If possible, shield the eye with a protective covering (like a paper cup taped over the eye) without applying pressure. Do not apply ointments or medications unless directed by our doctor.
4. For Chemical Exposure
Immediately flush the eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes, then call us or go to the emergency room. Bring the chemical container if possible.
