Good vision is a precious gift; it is among our most valued senses. Yet, our eyes are quite fragile and very vulnerable to harm. At Pinnacle Eye Group of Lambertville, we want our patients to know that we are here to help whenever you need treatment. You can never predict when an eye injury, red-eye, foreign bodies or some other threat to your ocular health may occur. The key to properly addressing an eye problem is knowing how to recognize a time-sensitive condition that requires immediate medical care, or when it is okay to wait for a scheduled appointment.
If you need foreign bodies treatment or care for some other serious eye injury, call Pinnacle Eye Group of Lambertville.
Frequently seen ocular emergencies include:
Scratched or lacerated cornea
Seeing floaters (dark spots or flashing lights)
Red-eye
Sudden vision loss
Double vision
Sudden eye pain
Sensitivity to light
Foreign body stuck in the eye
Broken or lost glasses are a big problem, and we will do our best to accommodate patients in need of corrective lenses. But keep in mind, if you run out of contacts or damage your eyeglasses, this is not considered a medical emergency. Please make our receptionist aware of your dilemma, and we will fit you in as soon as possible.
