Urgent Eye Care

Eye emergencies can happen when you least expect them - and when they do, every second counts. Whether it’s due to an accident, a sudden change in vision, or an underlying eye condition, getting prompt attention is essential to protect your sight. At Eyes on the Bloc Optometry, our optometrists are here to provide urgent eye care for patients across Los Angeles, ensuring your eyes get the immediate care they need.

Eye Emergencies Your Shouldn’t Ignore

Eye emergencies can appear in many forms. Some of the most common include:

• Eye Infections - Intense redness, pain, or discharge could be signs of an infection that needs immediate medical attention.

• Eye Trauma - Any injury, puncture, or blow to the eye area should be treated as an emergency, even if it seems minor at first.

•Foreign Objects - Dust, debris, or small particles can scratch or irritate the eye and may cause infection if not safely removed.

•Chemical Exposure - Cleaning products, fertilizers, or other chemicals can cause severe burns or vision damage if not rinsed out and treated right away.

•Sudden Vision Changes - Flashes of light, new floaters, or sudden vision loss may indicate a retinal detachment or another serious condition requiring urgent evaluation.

What to Do in an Eye Emergency

If you’re experiencing an eye emergency:

•Do not rub or apply pressure to the affected eye

•If chemicals are involved, rinse immediately with clean water or saline and seek care right away

•Avoid trying to remove foreign objects yourself

•Call Eyes on the Bloc Optometry immediately for guidance and to determine if you need same-day treatment
