What Constitutes an Eye Emergency?

Emergencies can range from sudden injuries to unexpected vision disturbances. Anything from foreign object penetration and chemical exposures to severe eye infections also falls under the umbrella of an eye emergency. If you’re experiencing symptoms that could threaten your vision or eye health, that constitutes an eye emergency.
