Eye Emergencies We Handle

We don't just offer routine eye exams, contact lenses, and stylish frames; we're also here for your urgent eye care needs.

Skip the ER: Choose Optometry for Eye Emergencies
An optometrist can handle many emergency room visits for eye issues. Common reasons for ER visits include foreign bodies, severe eye allergies, and eye infections, all of which optometrists are well-equipped to address these emergencies. Save time, hassle, and healthcare costs by coming to us first.
Foreign Body Removal
When a foreign object, like an eyelash, sawdust, sand, or dirt, enters your eye, it can lead to pain and irritation. Attempting to remove it yourself is risky and can make matters worse.
If a foreign body sticks around for hours, you should get immediate help. Leaving it untreated can spell infection, vision loss, cataracts, or even retinal damage. Contact us immediately.
What We Do During Foreign Body Removal
If there's a foreign object in your eye, we can remove it with care. We'll numb your eye with special drops to keep you comfortable. A gentle rinse or a cotton swab may do the trick if the object is easy to reach. However, if it's more stubborn, we have the tools and skills to get it out without hurting your eye.
Sometimes, the foreign body gets lodged under your upper eyelid, which can be uncomfortable. In such cases, we may need to invert your eyelid to remove it gently.
Your eyes matter; we're here for you when something goes wrong. Don't delay seeking help — your vision's on the line.
If you experience an eye emergency, call us immediately. Your eyes are too precious to take chances. Reach out to the reliable, caring team at Image Eyecare Optometry in San Jose, and we'll make sure your eyes get the urgent care they deserve.
