Urgent eye care exam room at Ozark Eye in Pea Ridge

Can you go to urgent care for an eye problem?

455 Slack St, Pea Ridge, AR (479) 208-6175 Insurance options reviewed before your visit
You can, but for most non-trauma eye problems an optometrist is the better first call. During business hours, call Ozark Eye first: urgent eye concerns are prioritized, and many can be handled right in the clinic.

An eye office has equipment built for eye problems, which matters for removing a metal speck from the cornea, telling a corneal ulcer from pink eye, or checking the retina after a sudden shower of floaters or flashes.

Go to the ER first for severe trauma: a deep cut to the eye, a penetrating injury, or a skull injury. For a chemical splash, rinse with clean water or saline for several minutes before anything else. Outside office hours, the voicemail at (479) 208-6175 directs you to the nearest urgent care or ER for severe cases.
