Symptoms That Might Mean an Eye Emergency

While most eye emergencies involve noticeable symptoms or trauma, other eye emergencies are not as obvious. Any sudden changes to your vision should be considered an eye care emergency.

Sudden onset of any of the following symptoms may also be indicative of an emergency:

Burning or stinging
Pupils that differ in size
Bulging eyes
Severe eye pain
Double vision
Redness or severe itching
Bruising or bleeding
Sudden headache
Discharge from the eye
Eyes not moving together

Call our offices immediately should you experience any of these issues.
