How Are Eye Care Emergencies Treated?
Mishandling an injured eye can worsen the situation. At Advanced Vision & Achievement Center, we are skilled in diagnosing and managing eye ailments. Our optometrists can prescribe both topical and oral solutions for conditions, like infections, inflammations, pain, dry eyes, glaucoma, and allergies. For embedded foreign bodies, like sawdust or sand, we use anesthetic drops to alleviate pain during extraction. While sometimes a simple eye rinse can dislodge these particles, chemical contacts might necessitate an eye flush with tepid water or other treatments.
Advanced Vision & Achievement Center Reviews
The entire staff are very welcoming and professional. Eye exams are quick, pain-free, and easy. I canβt wait to get my new specs!!ππ
Dr. Hardy and her team are amazing! I appreciate AVAC for being open to scheduling 3 appts back to back for me and my kids. I also thought it was going to take a while to get through the exam and finding the right glasses for all of us but they were so efficient and quick on the process, we were done within an hour! This included having a new patient and making sure everyones needs were met! 10/10 would recommend to everyone!
Great staff, they take their time and discuss everything and Dr. Hardy is amazing.
I am so grateful for Dr. Amin! I have had concerns about my vision for years and she is the first doctor that took my concerns seriously and gave me actual answers and a path forward. Highly recommend!
I've been coming here for a few years now for my annual eye exams! The doctor's are always very nice as well as the staff! There's lots of parking here and a nice waiting room. This time I saw Dr. Leach. He was great and recommended some supplements to help with my vision! I didn't have time during this appointment to look at frames, but they do have a nice selection. In the past I have purchased glasses from here, and it has always been a seamless experience. Definitely recommend this place for all of your ophthalmology needs!

Emergency Eye Care FAQs
What should I do if I experience sudden loss of vision?
It is crucial to seek medical attention as soon as possible in the event that you suddenly lose vision. Do not attempt to self-diagnose, as this symptom could signal serious conditions like retinal detachment or a stroke. Acting quickly is crucial to prevent permanent vision damage. Contact our eye care providers right away or go directly to the emergency room.
How can I know if an eye infection requires emergency care?
Severe eye pain, redness, swelling, discharge, and vision changes can indicate a serious eye infection needing urgent care. Conditions like bacterial keratitis or orbital cellulitis can worsen rapidly and may cause vision loss if untreated. Seek professional medical attention immediately if you notice these symptoms.
What should I do if I have a scratched cornea?
Prompt treatment is necessary for a scratched cornea to avoid complications like infection. While minor scratches may heal on their own, deeper abrasions can cause significant discomfort and vision issues. Getting timely medical care ensures proper assessment and reduces the risk of long-term damage.
