Eye emergencies can be traumatic, especially if they happen to your child. We are here to offer guidance, support, and prompt care to maximize the chances of a full recovery.
We leave room in our schedule each day that allows us to accommodate emergencies. If your child is experiencing an eye emergency, please call us as soon as you can.
Eye emergencies can happen suddenly and without warning. Thankfully, eye care professionals have agreed on some best practices to minimize damage if your child is faced with an eye emergency.
If your child gets chemicals in their eye, the best thing to do is to run their eyes under cool tap water for 15-20 minutes. While this is happening, call us for an emergency appointment or call 911.
Even if you are cautious, accidents can happen. If your child has gotten a foreign object embedded in their eye, do not try to remove it. Please call us as soon as possible or go to the emergency room.
If you notice your child’s eye health declining rapidly, something is probably wrong. Please book an appointment as soon as possible so we can perform a proper assessment and provide appropriate treatment.
No matter what happens, we are here to help. Please call us as soon as possible in the event of an eye emergency, or visit your nearest emergency room.
For emergencies that cannot wait, please call 911.
You can find us on the corner of East 1st Street and North Magnolia Street. We share a parking lot with First Reliance Bank that includes accessible parking spaces.
Please keep in mind we are closed daily from 12 PM to 1 PM for lunch.
The first step towards safeguarding your child’s vision is booking them an eye exam. When you bring your child in, we’ll test the quality of their vision as well as assess their overall eye health, helping to ensure that any potential eye conditions are caught early and dealt with effectively.
Children’s Eye Exams
