When should I go to the optometrist vs. the ER for an eye problem?
For most non-trauma eye issues — sudden vision changes, eye infections, foreign objects, flashes and floaters, or chemical exposure — an optometrist is the right first call. We have equipment built specifically for eye problems, and we prioritize urgent cases — call the office for availability. For severe trauma (deep cut to the eye, penetrating injury, or skull injury), go to the ER first.
