Our Emergency Eye Care Services: Urgent Treatment for Vision Problems

Eye emergencies can happen at any time, and they often require immediate attention to prevent serious damage. At G&G Eye Doctors, we offer comprehensive emergency eye care services for patients in Cambridge, Brampton, and surrounding areas. From eye injuries to sudden vision loss, our optometrists are here to provide urgent care when you need it most.

Common Eye Emergencies We Treat

Whether it's a minor irritation or a severe injury, some eye conditions require urgent medical attention. At G&G Eye Doctors, we provide expert treatment for a wide range of eye emergencies, including:

• Eye Injuries: Injuries from foreign objects, blunt trauma, or chemical exposure can cause serious damage if not treated promptly. We offer emergency care for eye injuries to prevent complications.
• Red or Painful Eyes: Sudden redness, swelling, or pain in the eye could be a sign of infection, inflammation, or injury. Our team can diagnose and treat the underlying cause.
• Flashes and Floaters: Seeing flashes of light or floaters in your vision can be an early sign of retinal detachment, which requires immediate attention to prevent permanent vision loss.
• Sudden Vision Loss: If you experience a sudden loss of vision, it could be caused by a serious condition such as a stroke or retinal tear. Our optometrists are equipped to assess and treat these conditions.
• Foreign Objects in the Eye: Debris, metal, or glass fragments in the eye can cause pain and potential damage. We provide prompt removal and treatment to minimize the risk of infection.

Why You Shouldn't Wait for Treatment

Eye emergencies can escalate quickly, leading to long-term vision problems or even blindness if left untreated. Whether it's an injury or a sudden change in vision, seeking emergency eye care right away can prevent further complications. At G&G Eye Doctors, we prioritize eye emergencies, offering same-day appointments to ensure you receive the urgent care you need.

What to Expect During Your Emergency Eye Care Visit

During your emergency eye care visit at G&G Eye Doctors, our optometrists will perform a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms. This may include an examination of the eye’s surface, pupil response, and a retinal exam using advanced diagnostic tools. Based on our findings, we’ll provide immediate treatment or refer you to a specialist if necessary.
