Emergency Eye Care in Northern Nevada

Physical trauma refers to any impact to your eye or surrounding area. In some cases, you may experience a black eye or symptoms like swelling, eye pain, or bleeding.

If you have experienced physical trauma, place a cold compress over the area, and contact a medical professional.

Chemical exposure happens when your eyes come in contact with chemicals like bleach, vinegar, or battery acid. If this has happened to you, please immediately flush your eyes with cool, clean water for 15 minutes and seek emergency medical attention.

Rips, tears, and punctures are some of the most severe eye emergencies you can experience. If you’ve experienced an emergency like this, please apply an eye shield to protect your eye and seek immediate medical attention.

For rip, tear, or puncture wounds to the eye, we recommend visiting an emergency room.

Foreign objects could include dust, dirt, metal, wood, or any particle that can lodge itself in your eye. If something like this happens, please do not rub your eyes. Instead, try blinking to help move it from your eye, or flush your eyes with cool, clean water. If you’re finding no relief or if your symptoms are worsening, please seek medical attention.

Ocular diseases like wet AMD and closed-angle glaucoma cause eye pain, redness, flashes, floaters, or sudden vision loss. If you’re at risk of developing these diseases and are experiencing emergency symptoms, please seek immediate emergency assistance.
