Give Your Eyes the Care They Deserve

What To Do If You Have an Eye Emergency

First things first. Don’t panic! Staying calm is the best way to help you think straight and help those around you to remain calm. Often, it’s not necessary to go to an emergency room for eye emergencies. In fact, the vast majority of people who go to the emergency room for eye care could have received treatment from their local optometrist instead.

If you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing an eye emergency, give us a call immediately! Delay may increase the risk of serious complications and may result in vision loss.

Until you see your eye doctor or seek urgent care, avoid the following:

  • Don’t try to remove an embedded object out of your eye
  • If your eye is injured, don't press on it or rub it
  • Dry cotton and sharp instruments such as tweezers should never be used on the eye.

Whether you've had a workplace accident or an at-home incident, our eye doctors are here to help

The staff at this location are so fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, and they know what they’re ... doing. Dr. Stott has been more helpful than any doctor I’ve ever seen. He actually diagnosed my dry eyes and helped to make it better - he didn’t just shove plugs in like every other doctor I’ve been to! He also (along with the staff) hooked me up with multi-focal contacts that work! My last doctor told me I was stuck with glasses, unless I wanted to wear contacts for distance, and reading glasses for near and mid-distance. (Was he even aware of multi-focal contacts??) I’m so happy. Like, SOOOO happy!!! What a fantastic place. I’d bear hug everyone there, if it wasn’t weird to do so.

Amazing doctor and staff
- Oct. 12, 2022
The doctor and staff were all wonderful with my child. The doctor explained everything to me that he... was doing, was very thorough during the exam and helped me understand the need for glasses. The woman at the front desk helped me choose the glasses and decide which would be best, was very helpful and incredibly sweet and patient with my one year old. I am so glad I chose this business and will continue using them for myself and family!
- Oct. 05, 2022
For eye exams and contact fittings both Dr. Stott and Dr. Ng are great doctors. The staff in the of... fice are friendly and helpful, and I actually think they have continued to become more helpful and friendly over the 4-5 years I have been going to this office. Getting glasses at this office can be an adventure though - getting glasses for my grandmother took a long time with communication hiccups and the factory breaking the frames. I have seen other customers come in with similar issues. But if you are someone needing and eye exam or contacts then you shouldn't have any issues!

2020 Image took amazing care of me. Their retinal imaging service made me feel safe knowing that I h... ave healthy retinas. And everyone that I spoke to was remarkably friendly.

Eye Emergencies FAQs

What is considered an eye emergency?

Eye emergencies are anything that may cause permanent damage to your eyes or vision without timely intervention from an eye care professional.

The most common types of eye emergencies include:

  • A blow, poke or other trauma to the eye
  • Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
  • Chemical spills in the eye
  • Foreign object embedded in the eye
  • Sudden appearance of light flashes or floaters
  • Contact lens lost in the eye
Does an eye infection require urgent care?

Symptoms of an eye infection typically include itching, burning, redness, crusty and watery eyes. See a San Tan Ranch eye doctor if your symptoms last over 4 days or if you experience intense pain, redness, blurred vision or light sensitivity.

What should I do if a foreign object enters my eye?

Most of the time, a person can easily remove debris from the eye by repeatedly blinking to get the debris out. If that doesn't work, you can wash your eye with saline (sterile salt water) to flush out any dust and dirt from your eye, or use streaming tap water.

However, to scratch your cornea while attempting to get an object out which can cause further site-threatening complications.
