Why You Might Need Emergency Eye Appointments
Eye issues can appear suddenly, and some require immediate attention to prevent serious complications or lasting damage to your vision.
Here are a few situations where emergency eye appointments are essential:
- Sudden Vision Loss: Any unexpected loss of vision in one or both eyes can indicate a serious underlying condition that needs urgent evaluation.
- Eye Injuries: Whether caused by an accident, foreign object, or trauma, eye injuries can have long-term consequences if not treated quickly and effectively.
- Painful Red Eyes: Persistent pain, redness, or irritation could signal conditions like infections, uveitis, or other serious eye health concerns.
- Eye Infections: Infections such as conjunctivitis or corneal ulcers can worsen rapidly, requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment to avoid complications.
- Flashes, Floaters, or Distorted Vision: These symptoms could be signs of a retinal tear or detachment, which requires immediate medical intervention to preserve vision.
- Chemical Exposure or Burns: Accidental exposure to harmful chemicals or substances can damage the eye's delicate tissues, requiring quick treatment to minimise damage.
