Emergency Eye Care at Mountain View Vision Center
When your eyes are in distress, getting prompt treatment can make all the difference in preserving your vision and eye health. At Mountain View Vision Center, we provide urgent care for eye injuries, infections, and other sudden eye health problems so you get the right care, fast — without always needing to go to a hospital emergency room.
Why Emergency Eye Care Matters
Eye emergencies can arise from everyday accidents, workplace injuries, sports incidents, or chemical exposures. The eyes are delicate, and even seemingly minor problems can lead to permanent vision loss if not evaluated and treated quickly. That’s why it’s essential to seek professional eye care as soon as symptoms appear.
Our experienced eye care team is here to help diagnose and treat a wide range of urgent eye conditions before they become more serious.
Common Eye Emergencies We Treat
We are equipped to manage many urgent eye issues, including but not limited to:
Foreign object in the eye — Dust, metal, wood, or debris lodged in the eye
Eye injuries and trauma — Blunt force or penetrating injuries
Sudden vision changes — Blurry or reduced vision that comes on quickly
Eye pain or redness — Especially when accompanied by discharge or light sensitivity
Corneal abrasions and scratches — Painful surface damage to the eye
Chemical splashes or burns — Irritation or damage from household or industrial chemicals
Sudden onset floaters or flashes of light — Signs of retinal issues
Timely treatment from an eye care professional can significantly reduce the risk of long-term damage and improve outcomes.
What to Do in an Eye Emergency
If you suspect you’re experiencing an eye emergency:
Stay calm and avoid rubbing or putting pressure on the eye.
If a foreign object is present, try not to remove it yourself — this can cause further injury.
Contact us immediately so we can advise you on next steps and prepare to see you as soon as possible.
If you cannot reach us, or symptoms are severe, don’t hesitate to visit your nearest urgent care or hospital.
