What qualifies as an eye emergency?

Sudden vision loss, eye pain, trauma, foreign objects in the eye, chemical exposure, or flashing lights — if in doubt, contact us immediately.

Can I walk in for emergency treatment?

We recommend calling ahead for fastest care. Same-day appointments are usually available.

Can you remove something stuck in my eye?

Yes — we are trained and equipped to remove foreign bodies, including metal and rust.

Will I need to go to hospital?

In most cases, we can treat you here. If surgical care is required, we’ll refer you directly to a local ophthalmologist.

Is emergency care covered by Medicare?

Many emergency consultations and procedures are covered. We’ll explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront.
