Eye emergencies can happen suddenly and put your vision at risk. If you experience sudden pain, vision loss, or an injury to the eye, it’s important to get professional care immediately. At Barnes Talero Eyecare, we provide same-day emergency appointments to evaluate your condition and protect your sight.
An eye emergency is any situation that could cause permanent damage to your vision if left untreated. Common emergencies include:
Eye infections or severe redness
Sudden vision loss or blurred vision
Something stuck in the eye
Scratches or trauma to the eye’s surface
Double vision that starts suddenly
Flashes of light or new floaters in vision
Sudden eye pain or sensitivity to light
Chemical splashes or burns to the eye
If you experience any of the symptoms above, call our office right away for instructions. While waiting to be seen:
Do not rub your eye
Do not attempt to remove objects on your own
Do not apply pressure or use sharp tools
If chemicals are involved, rinse the eye gently with clean water and call immediately
Delaying treatment, even for a few hours, can increase the risk of vision loss. Our team is trained to assess urgent eye problems and provide the care you need or refer you promptly to a specialist if surgery is required.
If you are experiencing sudden changes in your vision or an eye injury, don’t wait. Contact Barnes Talero Eyecare in Nashville for same-day emergency eye care. Protecting your vision is always our first priority.
