What Is an Eye Emergency?
An eye emergency occurs when there is a sudden issue with your eye that requires immediate medical attention to prevent vision loss or damage. Common emergencies include eye injuries, chemical exposure, sudden vision loss, or the presence of foreign objects in the eye. Eye infections, severe pain, or flashes of light followed by floaters may also indicate an emergency.
Dr. Joseph Boivin and our experienced team are equipped to handle a wide range of emergency situations, offering expert care to ensure the best possible outcome for your vision.
What to Do (and Not to Do) In an Eye Care Emergency
If you experience an eye emergency, avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the affected eye, as this can worsen the condition. For injuries or chemical exposure, flush your eye with clean water, and avoid using ointments or medications unless directed by a professional. Contact Tiverton Eye Care immediately for further guidance, and seek emergency medical attention if needed.
