What Is an Eye Emergency?
Eye emergencies can result from injuries, infections, or sudden changes in vision. Some are obvious, like a chemical splash or trauma, while others, like the early signs of glaucoma, require careful evaluation.
If you’re unsure, err on the side of caution and contact us immediately. We can help manage a variety of different eye emergencies.
Eye Disease
Most eye diseases progress slowly and are detected during routine exams, but some require urgent medical attention, like acute angle-closure glaucoma and wet age-related macular degeneration.
- This condition involves a sudden spike in eye pressure and can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated quickly. Watch for:
- Eye pain or severe headaches
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurred vision or halos around lights
- Redness or sudden vision loss
Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD)
- This type of AMD causes abnormal blood vessels to leak into the retina, leading to rapid central vision changes. Symptoms include:
- Wavy or distorted vision
- Blurry or dark central spots
- Dull or faded colours
Blunt Trauma
A blow to the eye can cause significant damage. The eyes and their surrounding tissues are delicate and easily damaged. From bruising to vision loss, many complications can arise from blunt trauma.
Even if your injury seems mild, it is important to be examined by an eye care professional to avoid potential issues.
Flashes & Floaters
While floaters and flashes are usually harmless, a sudden increase can signal a retinal tear or detachment, which requires urgent care.
Seek help immediately if you notice:
- A shower of new floaters
- Flashes of light
- A shadow or curtain across your vision
Foreign Body Injury
While it’s common for small foreign objects like hair, dirt, and dust to enter your eyes, they can occasionally lead to irritation or scratches that may require treatment to avoid infection. Your tears will usually flush these out on their own, but you can help the process by rinsing with clean water or saline solution. Larger and sharper foreign objects, like glass or metal, can puncture the eye and must be removed by a trained eye care professional.
