Eye Emergencies: Immediate Care at Kahala Eye Clinic

Eye emergencies can happen unexpectedly and require immediate attention to prevent long-term damage or vision loss. At Kahala Eye Clinic, we understand the urgency of eye injuries and infections, offering emergency eye care services to address your needs swiftly and effectively.

What Constitutes an Eye Emergency?

Some eye emergencies require immediate attention, including:

• Sudden vision loss: If you experience a sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes, it could be a sign of a serious condition like retinal detachment.

• Eye injuries: Trauma to the eye, including blunt force injuries, cuts, or chemical exposure, should be treated immediately.

• Foreign body in the eye: If something becomes lodged in your eye, such as metal, wood, or other debris, professional removal is essential to avoid further damage.

• Severe eye pain or redness: Sudden onset of intense pain or redness could indicate a serious infection, such as uveitis or acute angle-closure glaucoma.

• Flashes and floaters: These could be early warning signs of a retinal detachment, which requires prompt attention.
