Recognizing the Signs of an
Eye Emergency

  • Sudden Vision Loss: A rapid decrease in vision, which could be partial or complete, in one or both eyes.
  • Eye Pain: Severe discomfort that might be accompanied by sensitivity to light, is persistent, and not alleviated by over-the-counter pain relievers.
  • Physical Injury to the Eye: Any trauma caused by an object hitting the eye or face, potentially leading to surface damage or internal harm to the eye structures.
  • Foreign Object in the Eye: The sensation of something in the eye that tears or water cannot wash out. It causes discomfort and can potentially harm the eye's surface.
  • Flashes of Light or Floaters: A sudden increase in floaters, specks that drift through your vision, or light flashes could indicate a retinal detachment.
  • Redness or Swelling: Redness, especially if associated with pain or swelling around the eye or eyelid, can indicate infections or other inflammatory conditions.
  • Discharge from the Eye: Unusual discharge, whether clear, coloured, or pus-like, can be a sign of infection or other serious eye conditions.
