EMERGENCY EYE CARE

Do you know who to call in the event of an eye care emergency?

As responsible as we are about our ongoing vision care, occasionally things happen that are beyond our control. In situations such as this, we want you to know you can count on the experienced, compassionate team at Davich Optical. Our office and staff are equipped and prepared to provide urgent optical care at a moment’s notice. 

Some of the signs of a potential vision care emergency include, but are not limited to:

• Extremely red, itchy and/or painful eyes
• Sudden changes in vision or vision loss
• “Floaters” in the vision
• Foreign bodies 
• Flashes of light

If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, or you have suffered injury or trauma to your eye(s), seek professional assistance right away. Timely treatment of urgent vision care needs will improve the chances of a positive outcome and could help prevent permanent damage.

At Davich Optical, we are experienced in treating a variety of different eye emergencies, including: 

• Chemical exposure
• Concussion
• Dislodged contact lenses
• Eye infections
• Eye trauma
• Foreign materials stuck in the eyes
• Lost or broken contact lenses or eyeglasses
• Scratched eyes

If you are unable to make it in to our clinic to be seen, or it’s after hours and you have suffered an optical emergency, please call 911.

At Davich Optical, your vision is our top priority. While we certainly hope you never experience the need for urgent optical care, we want you to know that if you do, we’re here to help.
