What is urgent eye care?
Urgent eye care encompasses care for conditions and injuries that require immediate attention to prevent further damage or complications. Your eyes are delicate and it’s vital you seek professional support promptly to protect your vision and minimize damage.
Urgent eye care includes several conditions. It includes exposure to chemicals, including when this may have caused a burn which can damage the eyes. Emergency care is also required for the extraction and treatment of objects lodged in the eye.
