 If you smash your finger with a hammer – it’s not that big of a deal.  If you get hit in the eye or get something in your eye, that can be a big deal.  You have ten fingers and toes BUT only two eyes.  And to date – we can put a new finger on your hand; we can’t put a new eye in your head.  Some eye injuries can cause serious vision loss. It is important to understand when these injuries are considered emergent and how to appropriately respond to it. DO NOT attempt to treat a serious eye injury yourself!

CALL US RIGHT AWAY IF YOU HAVE:
  • Eye pain
  • Something in the eye or under the eyelid that can’t be rinsed away
  • Sudden onset of floaters, flashes of light, or a "curtain" blocking your vision
  • Sudden blurred, distorted , or double vision
  • A torn or cut eyelid
  • An eye that does not move or protrudes
  • An odd shaped or sized pupil 
  • Blood behind the clear part of the eye (cornea)

There is a time to be tough and to suck it up, but that time should never come to your eyes!  Come see us and don't play with  your vision!
