What To Do If You Have an Eye Emergency

First things first. Don’t panic! Staying calm is the best way to help you think straight and help those around you to remain calm. Often, it’s not necessary to go to an emergency room for eye emergencies. In fact, the vast majority of people who go to the emergency room for eye care could have received treatment from their local optometrist instead.

If you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing an eye emergency, give us a call immediately! Delay may increase the risk of serious complications and may result in vision loss.

Until you see your eye doctor or seek urgent care, avoid the following:

  • Don’t try to remove an embedded object out of your eye
  • If your eye is injured, don’t press on it or rub it
  • Dry cotton and sharp instruments such as tweezers should never be used on the eye.

Whether you’ve had a workplace accident or an at-home incident, our eye doctors are here to help

The point is you will be 100% satisfied and like me....GLAD TO HAVE FOUND CLARKSVILLE EYE CLINIC. Oh, Sara! I didn't forget about you. Sara had the hardest job. In the past, I wore the GP hard contact lenses. I now have the Scleral lenses. I have the Scleral lenses now. The Scleral lenses are awesome. However, I had a difficult time learning how to put them in. Sara was so patient with me. I had a hard time learning how to put the lense in. Sara walked me through the process over 10-15 times, and I still wasn't successful. I cried because I felt so embarrassed. Sara continued to encourage me. I took 100 more times and still, I COULDN'T GET THEM IN CORRECTLY. I begged and offered Sara money to just PUT THEM IN FOR ME! LOL! Y'ALL, SARA CAN'T BE BROUGHT! After that, I asked for Dr Davis to come put them in for me, Sara went got Dr. Davis. Yeah, Dr. Davis came, listened and did exactly what I asked. Then, sent me right back to guess who??? SARA! Once again, Sara was right there waiting for me with a smile. Y'all, Sara helped me AGAIN! THIS WAS AFTER ME CRYING, TRYING TO BRIBE HERE AND ASKING FOR DR. DAVIS. SARA STILL WAS VERY KIND AND STILL HELPED ME. THEN...BOOM! GUESS WHAT??? I GOT THEM IN!!!! SARA CHEERED FOR ME! SHE WAS SO PATIENT, KIND AND EMPATHETIC! I HAVE YET TO FIND A PERSON MORE SWEETER THAN GODIVA CHOCOLATE UNTIL I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING SARA! THANK YOU! When I get my SSI check on the 3rd, Imma get you one of those fancy GROUPON spa coupons. Now, it will be just the coupon! I know you gotta hot $20 somewhere! Hell, you work for Dr. Davis.
