Common Eye Emergencies Treated by an Optometrist at Epic Vision Eye Center

At the Epic Vision Eye Center, there are a few frequent eye emergencies that we see. Some of them include:

  • Foreign Body in the Eye: A foreign body is one of the most common eye emergencies that we see. A foreign body can take any number of forms: dust, shrapnel, and glass, just to name a few. We know where these fragments hide once inside the eye and how to remove them safely.
  • Glaucoma: Specifically, closed angle glaucoma. When fluid cannot drain from the eye, pressure starts to build within the eye. This can damage the optic nerve, leading to blindness. There are certain medications and surgical procedures that can be used to help restore the pressure back to normal levels.
  • Retinal Detachment: Another common eye emergency that we see is retinal detachment. When this happens, people often describe it as a curtain falling across their vision. We will take a look at someone's retina and make sure it is still intact. Then, we can help people find an ocular surgeon who knows how to repair this condition.
  • Open Globe Injury: A blow to the head can lead to a fracture of the orbit. When this happens, the eye will start to lose its shape. This injury requires the attention of an eye surgeon immediately.

These eye emergencies are serious problems. Make sure to call an eye doctor as soon as possible to have them treated.
