Comprehensive Management for Eye Emergencies
We address urgent eye conditions with expert precision, ensuring that we prevent any damage to vision and eye health. Eye emergencies we treat include:
- Eye Infections: Our clinic diagnoses and treats eye infections like conjunctivitis (pink eye) promptly. This helps to relieve symptoms such as pain, redness, and discharge, preventing any long-term effects on your vision.
- Foreign Body Removal: It is not uncommon for foreign objects to enter the eye, causing irritation or potential harm. Our optometrists use sterile techniques and advanced equipment to safely remove foreign objects from the eye. This helps prevent any additional harm to your vision and eye health.
General Guidelines for Managing Eye Emergencies
If you experience an eye emergency, it's crucial to know what to do before seeking professional help:
- Avoid touching or rubbing your eye: This can aggravate the injury or spread infection.
- Do not attempt to remove objects stuck in the eye yourself: Using tools like tweezers can worsen the situation. Leave the removal to medical professionals.
- Cover the eye: Gently covering the eye with a clean cloth can protect it from further damage.
- Seek professional care immediately: Quick access to professional eye care can make a significant difference in outcomes for eye emergencies.
