Eye Emergencies
We are always willing to help, should you ever experience an eye emergency. Our office provides emergency services for eye infections, eye injuries and other eye urgencies. State of the art equipment allows us to examine the front surface of the eye and also digitally scan inside the eye for damage. We accommodate many eye emergencies such as:
▪ Treatment of "pink eye" and other eye infections
▪ Foreign materials stuck in the eyes (such as wood or metal)
▪ Eye trauma
▪ Scratched eyes
▪ Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
▪ Lost or broken contact lenses or eyeglasses
▪ Flashes of light in the vision
▪ “Floaters” in the vision
▪ Red or painful eyes
▪ Dislodged contact lenses
▪ Uncomfortable, itchy, or irritated eyes
▪ Post-surgical problems
Studies have shown that many emergency room visits could have been treated by an optometrist, so it is always a good idea to contact Tulsa Vision Clinic first. These ranged from foreign bodies to severe eye allergies to eye infections as the most common reasons for emergency room visits.
These are signs that an immediate evaluation or consultation is necessary. Call us (918)743-6334 if you are experiencing an eye emergency of any kind.
