First things first. Don’t panic! Staying calm is the best way to help you think straight and help those around you to remain calm. Often, it’s not necessary to go to an emergency room for eye emergencies. In fact, the vast majority of people who go to the emergency room for eye care could have received treatment from their local optometrist instead.

If you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing an eye emergency, give us a call immediately! Delay may increase the risk of serious complications and may result in vision loss.

Until you see your eye doctor or seek urgent care, avoid the following:

  • Don’t try to remove an embedded object out of your eye
  • If your eye is injured, don't press on it or rub it
  • Dry cotton and sharp instruments such as tweezers should never be used on the eye.

Whether you've had a workplace accident or an at-home incident, our eye doctors are here to help


Eye Emergencies FAQs

What is considered an eye emergency?

Eye emergencies are anything that may cause permanent damage to your eyes or vision without timely intervention from an eye care professional.

The most common types of eye emergencies include:

  • A blow, poke or other trauma to the eye
  • Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
  • Chemical spills in the eye
  • Foreign object embedded in the eye
  • Sudden appearance of light flashes or floaters
  • Contact lens lost in the eye
Does an eye infection require urgent care?

Symptoms of an eye infection typically include itching, burning, redness, crusty and watery eyes. See a Frisco eye doctor if your symptoms last over 4 days or if you experience intense pain, redness, blurred vision or light sensitivity.

What should I do if a foreign object enters my eye?

Most of the time, a person can easily remove debris from the eye by repeatedly blinking to get the debris out. If that doesn't work, you can wash your eye with saline (sterile salt water) to flush out any dust and dirt from your eye, or use streaming tap water.

However, to scratch your cornea while attempting to get an object out which can cause further site-threatening complications.

So the best thing you can do in this kind of eye emergency is to get to your eye doctor in Frisco as soon as possible.

Friendly staff. They are always ready for me each time I come in for an appointment. I never have to... wait. Great at communicating options and answering questions.

First time me and my husband have been to this office and could not have been happier with our exper... ience. Every person we spoke to in the office was friendly, helpful and professional. The office is very clean, inviting and comfortable. Our wait time was less than 10 minutes even being new patience having to fill out paperwork. Was seen by Dr. Annie Houston and absolutely loved her. She was friendly, easy to talk to and made sure we understood everything. Best overall experience I have ever had in a medical office. Would highly recommend to everyone and will be back.

Such a great staff from the minute you walk in. Dr Biederman was so great to put me at ease with th... e process of wrapping my head around having to wear glasses to what to expect as my eyes continue to change and transition in to transitional glasses. At my last visit I decided to switch to contacts and her staff was so helpful in teaching me how to put them in and take them out and especially patient with me. They have definitely helped me in this journey of accepting I don’t have 20/20 vision any more!
