Many people think that eye emergencies require an immediate trip to the emergency room.  The expense and inconvenience of such a trip to the hospital, however, is rarely needed.  Our Doctors have managed thousands of eye injuries ranging from:

• corneal abrasions
• minor lid lacerations
• blunt trauma
• chemical burns
• embedded particles & foreign bodies
• and many other ocular emergencies...

In some situations an eye injury may require the care of a specialist.  Retinal detachments and deep penetrating wounds, for instance, often require immediate transportation & surgery.  Our Doctors are experienced in evaluating such situations, and will make sure that patients are properly referred for prompt appropriate care.
