Eye Emergency? Contact Us Immediately
If you’re experiencing an eye emergency, contact us right away. Your vision is important, and anything that puts it at risk needs to be dealt with immediately.
Call us at 615-933-7544. We’ll assess your situation and walk you through next steps, whether that means seeing an optometrist or visiting an emergency room. If our optometrists can assist with your situation, we’ll work to get you in as soon as possible.
If your emergency occurs outside our office hours, call the practice and leave a message. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can. If you can’t wait, go directly to the nearest hospital.
Types of Eye Emergencies
Common eye emergencies we can treat include:
- Corneal abrasions (scratches on the surface of your eye)
- Foreign objects stuck in your eye
- Chemical splashes or burns
- Infections like conjunctivitis (pink eye)
- Flashes, floaters, or retinal detachment
- Sudden changes or worsening of known eye conditions
Signs You Might Need Emergency Eye Care
While many eye emergencies involve noticeable symptoms or trauma, some aren’t as obvious. Any abrupt changes to your vision are an eye care emergency.
The sudden onset of any of the following symptoms may indicate an eye emergency:
- Full or partial loss of vision (including tunnel vision)
- Burning or stinging
- Different-sized pupils
- Bulging eyes
- Severe eye pain
- Double vision
- Redness, severe itching, or inflammation
- Bruising or bleeding
- Discharge from the eye
- Eyes not moving together
- Severe or sudden light sensitivity
- New or severe headaches
Call us immediately if you experience any of the above symptoms.
After Hours Emergency
If you experience an emergency outside of office hours, you should call us at 615-933-7544 and leave a voicemail. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
If your eye emergency can’t wait, visit an urgent care centre or emergency department. We can schedule a follow-up appointment the next day to provide additional care.
