Our dedicated team of optometrists is well-equipped to provide prompt and comprehensive care for a wide range of eye traumas and injuries.

Emergency Eye Care: From red eyes, foreign bodies, trauma, and eye pain to flashes and floaters, our team has been diagnosing and treating these conditions for over thirty years. We will differentiate your allergy or tear insufficiency and then provide the most appropriate treatment plan to get you back to your busy life.
Diagnosis and Assessment: Our optometrists will perform a thorough examination to assess the extent of the trauma or injury and determine the impact on your eye health and vision. We utilize specialized equipment and diagnostic techniques to obtain accurate and detailed information about the affected areas.
Treatment and Management: Based on the nature and severity of the eye trauma or injury, our optometrists will recommend an appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific situation. This may include:
Medications: We may prescribe medications such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Eye Patching or Bandaging: In certain cases, an eye patch or bandage may be used to protect the injured eye, alleviate discomfort, and aid in the healing process.
Referral and Co-Management: For severe or complex eye traumas and injuries that require specialized surgical interventions, our optometrists will facilitate a referral to an ophthalmologist or other appropriate specialists. We will work closely with the referred specialist to ensure seamless co-management and continuity of care.
Follow-up Care and Monitoring: Our optometrists will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure that the healing process is on track. We will assess your visual acuity, eye health, and any ongoing symptoms or complications. This allows us to make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan and provide ongoing support and guidance throughout your recovery.
Preventive Measures and Education: To help prevent future eye traumas and injuries, our optometrists will provide education and guidance on eye safety precautions. We will advise you on proper eye protection during activities that pose a risk of injury and provide recommendations for safety eyewear or other protective measures.
