How do I know if this is an emergency?

Always listen to your gut feeling. If something feels off, it's essential to get help fast.

Here are some examples of what we’d consider urgent:

Eye infections
Debris in the eye, like fragments of glass or metal
Cuts or punctures of the eye or eyelid
Chemical exposure causing pain or vision problems
Sudden vision loss or change in your vision
Eye scratches from foreign objects.
Sudden appearance of visual floaters or light flashes

Can I Take Care of It
At Home?

There’s no real substitute for medical care, but here are some initial steps for common emergencies:

Chemical contact: Rinse your eyes continuously for 15 minutes. Leave the affected eye uncovered.
Foreign object in the eye: Avoid any rubbing. Gently attempt to rinse away the debris.
Major blow to the eye: Minimize swelling by applying a cold compress.
Eye or Eyelid Punctures: Cover the injured eye gently. For instance, if you have an elongated object stuck in your eye, use the bottom of a foam cup to stabilize and cover the puncturing object. Do not rinse.

Be Safe

Equip yourself with knowledge and tools on hand during any activity that might be risky to your eyes.

Always wear protective eyewear in high-risk scenarios.
Keep first aid on hand including a rigid eye shield, an eyewash solution, and sterilized gauze wherever eye hazards lurk.
