Emergency Eye Care, Tampa, FL
When it comes to eye emergencies, getting the right care at the right time is crucial. While some cases may require a visit to the emergency room, many eye emergencies can be effectively handled by a skilled eye doctor. At I-Care Optical in Tampa, Florida, our team, led by Dr. Neil Patel, is dedicated to providing prompt and professional emergency eye care when you need it the most.
What is considered an eye emergency?
An eye emergency refers to any situation where your eyesight is at risk. This can include sudden loss of vision, eye injury or trauma, foreign objects in the eye, severe eye pain, sudden appearance of floaters or flashes of light, and signs of infection like redness, swelling, and discharge. These conditions need immediate attention to prevent vision loss and other complications.
Steps to take during an eye emergency
During an eye emergency, it’s important to stay calm. Do not rub or apply pressure to your eye, try to remove any foreign objects yourself, or use tweezers or other tools on your eye because this could potentially cause more harm. Instead, if possible, shield your eye from further injury, avoid bright light, and have someone else drive you for emergency eye care. If you get chemicals in your eyes, flush your eyes out with water for at least 20 minutes.
