Emergency Eye Treatment Eustis
Eye Emergencies Should Never be Ignores and Require Immediate Attention
Ram Eye and Retina Center provides emergency eye care to our patients in Eustis at our two locations in The Villages and Leesburg. If you should ever experience trauma to your eyes, never ignore it. You should seek immediate attention from a doctor who can assess the level of damage. Taking no action could lead to severe consequences. Eye accidents can occur for many reasons, and at any time. The sooner you seek treatment, the sooner the severity of the injury can be determined. Should you ever get anything in your eyes like a chemical or a foreign object you should seek help.
What Constitutes an Eye Emergency?
The fact of the matter is that there is no clear definition of what constitutes an emergency. Your eyes are too precious to risk ignoring any occurrence that brings eye discomfort. If you ever experience any of the following, you should seek immediate help.
- Any foreign substance in the eye such as a chemical, metal or wood
- Swelling of the eye
- A scratch to the eye
- Painful or Red Eyes
- Sudden double vision
- You are unable to open your eye
- Sudden loss of vision
What NOT to do if You Experience an Eye Trauma
If you have injured you eye, NEVER rub the eye or apply pressure to the eye. This may only worsen the problem. If you believe you have a foreign object in your eye, NEVER attempt to remove it yourself or allow another person to attempt to remove it. Instead, seek the help of an eye professional immediately. If after normal business hours you should have someone take you to the nearest hospital emergency room. Ignoring eye trauma and assuming it will go away could lead to permanent eye damage. The key word is urgency! If you need emergency eye care, call our offices immediately and arrange to be seen as soon as possible.

Came to this eye doctor once on this place in 2011, but in 2015, I’d moved back to Boston to go to another eye doctor in Malden. The appointment on this place resumed in 2018, a day before I return to Boston.
