Am I Having an Eye Emergency?

It isn’t always easy to tell the difference between a minor irritation that can wait until tomorrow and a serious issue that requires immediate medical attention. However, when it comes to your eyes, it is always better to be safe than sorry. 

Delaying treatment for certain conditions can lead to permanent damage.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, we urge you to call us right away:

  • Sudden vision loss or a sudden blurring of vision in one or both eyes.
  • Eye pain that is persistent, sharp, or throbbing.
  • Double vision or the sudden onset of crossed eyes.
  • Flashes of light or a sudden increase in floaters (spots in your vision).
  • Foreign objects stuck in the eye, such as metal, glass, or chemicals.
  • Redness, swelling, or discharge that impairs your ability to open your eye.
  • Trauma or blunt force injury to the eye or surrounding area.

Why Choose an Eye Doctor Over the ER?

When an accident happens, your first instinct might be to rush to the emergency room or a general urgent care center. While these facilities are essential for life-threatening conditions, they are not always the best equipped for ophthalmic issues. General physicians and triage nurses are incredible medical professionals, but they often lack the specialized equipment, such as slit lamps and high-powered retinal imaging technology, required to diagnose subtle eye injuries accurately.

By coming directly to amaEyes for your emergency eye care, you’ll likely have shorter wait times and receive an immediate, specialized eye exam from a doctor who focuses exclusively on the eye. In many cases, patients who go to the ER are eventually referred to an eye care specialist anyway. 

Coming to us first saves you time, money, and stress, ensuring that the correct diagnosis is made the moment you sit in the chair.

Note: If you have sustained a major trauma, such as a severe head injury, puncture wound to the eye, or chemical burns involving strong acids or alkalis, please call 911 or proceed to the nearest emergency room immediately.

Common Conditions We Treat

Our office is fully equipped to handle a wide variety of urgent scenarios efficiently and effectively.

Pink Eye and Infections

Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is common, but it requires an accurate diagnosis to heal properly without complications. We quickly differentiate between viral, bacterial, and fungal infections to prescribe the exact medication needed to prevent scarring.

Contact Lens Complications

Issues with contact lenses, such as a torn lens trapped under the lid or a corneal abrasion from overwearing, can be excruciating. We utilize specialized tools to safely remove lens fragments and treat the surface of the eye to prevent infection and restore comfort.

Flashes and Floaters

Occasional floaters are normal, but a sudden surge of flashes and floaters can signal a serious problem like a torn retina. We perform a thorough dilated eye exam to determine the cause and recommend the appropriate course of action to protect your sight.

Corneal Abrasions

A scratched cornea can result from debris, fingernails, or even makeup applicators and causes intense eye pain and light sensitivity. We assess the depth of the abrasion, remove any remaining foreign objects, and prescribe treatment to promote healing and prevent infection.

Retinal Detachment

Retinal detachment is a critical emergency where the retina pulls away from the supportive tissue. If you see a "curtain" falling over your vision or sudden flashes, we provide a rapid assessment to help prevent permanent vision loss.

Acute Glaucoma

Sudden, intense eye pressure can cause severe pain and nausea known as acute angle-closure glaucoma. We can administer immediate treatment to lower eye pressure during an attack to protect your optic nerve and preserve your sight.

What to Do Before Arriving at Our Marysville Office

While your first step should always be to contact our office, how you manage the injury in the minutes before you arrive can significantly impact the outcome of your eye health.

Do these before you get to us:

  • For Chemical Exposure: Flush them with lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes immediately. Do not stop to call us first—flush first, then call.
  • For Foreign Bodies: Do not try to remove an object embedded in the eye with tweezers or cotton swabs. Shield the eye with a pair of glasses or a cup taped over the bone structure and seek help.
  • Do Not Rub: Rubbing your eye can scratch the cornea or push debris deeper into the tissue, worsening the injury.
  • Leave Contact Lenses In (Unless Chemically Exposed): If your eye is injured, do not try to pry out your contact lenses unless there is a chemical burn. We will remove them safely.

Protecting Your Vision is Our Priority

At amaEyes, we believe that professional care should be accessible when you need it most. We know that eye emergencies happen outside of convenient hours and often during the busiest moments of your life. Our team is trained to remain calm and methodical, helping to de-escalate your stress while providing authoritative medical care.
