Eye Emergencies In Mobile
Eye Infections
An eye infection is a common eye emergency. While certain kinds of eye infections will go away on their own, other types of eye infections are highly contagious and greatly aided with antibiotics. Our Eye Doctor recommends visiting an eye doctor to asses the infection and if needed provide a prescription.
Foreign Body Removal
We have all experienced the discomfort of removing things stuck in our eye. While dust and dirt usually is removed by flushing your eye with running water, in many cases the item stuck in your eye proves harder to remove. In the event where your attempts to remove the stuck item are unsuccessful, visit us for an emergency eye exam.
Corneal Abrasions
One of the most common eye emergencies seen by our eye doctor is corneal abrasions/scratch to the eye. There are countless ways one may scratch their eye, and most heal quickly, however because of the possibility of infection,it is recommended by our eye doctor to visit for an emergency exam as soon as possible.

What Our Patients Are Saying...
Stye
A stye is a pimple in the eye caused by bacteria, styes are generally accompanied by swelling and pain. In most cases the stye will clear up in a few days. Your can apply a warm compress to speed up the healing time. Because some pimples in the eye are not a stye, such as Chalazia, in the event your bump/pimple remains for more than a few days schedule an appointment with our eye doctor.
Serious Eye Emergencies
In the event of a serious eye emergency such as chemical spills to the eye, and a deep wound to the eye you should call us right away or visit an emergency room. Sudden losses of vision, sudden flashes of light, intense eye pain, strong eye pressure may all be serious and should be seen by an eye doctor as soon as possible.
