Fast, expert treatment for sudden vision problems, eye injuries, or eye pain.
When it comes to your eyes, don’t take chances. Whether you’re dealing with a chemical exposure, trauma, or sudden vision loss, the board-certified ophthalmologists and optometrists at ADV Vision provide immediate care to protect your sight.

Not all vision emergencies come with pain. While eye injuries and sudden pain are obvious reasons to seek care, many serious eye conditions can develop without discomfort. At ADV Vision, our experienced eye doctors provide prompt, expert emergency eye care to protect your sight—whether you’re experiencing trauma, sudden vision changes, or symptoms of a retinal problem.

When Should You Seek Emergency Eye Care?

Not all serious eye conditions cause pain — and waiting can risk permanent vision damage. If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms below, call us right away or schedule the next available appointment online:

  • Sudden vision loss or blurry vision
  • Eye pain or discomfort
  • Double vision
  • Flashes of light or new floaters
  • Bleeding in or around the eye
  • Trauma or blunt injury to the eye
  • Blood in the white of the eye
  • Swelling, bruising, or black eye
  • Pain with eye movement
  • Severe headache with eye pressure
  • A shadow or curtain-like effect across vision

A torn or detached retina can cause symptoms like floaters or a dark curtain in your vision and requires immediate treatment to preserve your sight.

Eye Injuries & Chemical Burns: What You Need to Know

Accidents involving chemicals or household cleaners can quickly turn into emergencies. Some cause temporary discomfort, while others can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated right away.

Common sources of harmful chemical exposure include:

  • Ammonia (found in cleaning sprays, glass cleaners, and fertilizers)
  • Sodium hydroxide (in drain openers, lye)
  • Calcium hydroxide (used in cement, plaster, and lime)
  • Acids used in pool cleaning products

If you get a chemical in your eye:

  1. Flush your eye immediately with clean, lukewarm water.
  2. Avoid rubbing your eye.
  3. Seek emergency eye care without delay.

Protect your vision—don’t wait.
