What To Do If You Have an Eye Emergency
First things first. Don’t panic! Staying calm is the best way to help you think straight and help those around you to remain calm. Often, it’s not necessary to go to an emergency room for eye emergencies. In fact, the vast majority of people who go to the emergency room for eye care could have received treatment from their local optometrist instead.
If you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing an eye emergency, give us a call immediately! Delay may increase the risk of serious complications and may result in vision loss.
Until you see your eye doctor or seek urgent care, avoid the following:
- Don’t try to remove an embedded object out of your eye
- If your eye is injured, don’t press on it or rub it
- Dry cotton and sharp instruments such as tweezers should never be used on the eye.
Whether you’ve had a workplace accident or an at-home incident, our eye doctors are here to help
Eye Emergencies FAQs
Eye emergencies are anything that may cause permanent damage to your eyes or vision without timely intervention from an eye care professional.
The most common types of eye emergencies include:
- A blow, poke or other trauma to the eye
- Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
- Chemical spills in the eye
- Foreign object embedded in the eye
- Sudden appearance of light flashes or floaters
- Contact lens lost in the eye
Symptoms of an eye infection typically include itching, burning, redness, crusty and watery eyes. See a Sugar Land Town Square eye doctor if your symptoms last over 4 days or if you experience intense pain, redness, blurred vision or light sensitivity.
Most of the time, a person can easily remove debris from the eye by repeatedly blinking to get the debris out. If that doesn’t work, you can wash your eye with saline (sterile salt water) to flush out any dust and dirt from your eye, or use streaming tap water.
However, you may scratch your cornea while attempting to get an object out which can cause further sight-threatening complications.
So the best thing you can do in this kind of eye emergency is to get to your eye doctor in Sugar Land Town Square as soon as possible.

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Zaibaq at Memorial Eye Center and can confidently say this ... Show Morewas one of the best eye care visits I’ve had.
From the moment I walked in, the entire staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The front desk was friendly and efficient, and the overall atmosphere was very professional while still feeling warm and inviting. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and take pride in providing great service.
Dr. Zaibaq was extremely attentive throughout the entire appointment. He took his time, listened carefully to my concerns, and never made me feel rushed. What really stood out was how clearly he explained everything—he broke down my eye health, vision needs, and overall care plan in a way that was easy to understand. I left feeling much more informed and confident about my eye care, which I really appreciated.
The staff also went above and beyond when it came to helping me choose frames. They were patient, knowledgeable, and gave honest recommendations that actually suited my face and style—not just trying to sell something. That made a huge difference and made the process enjoyable rather than overwhelming.
Overall, the experience from start to finish was smooth, professional, and genuinely pleasant. Between the attentive care from Dr. Zaibaq and the helpful, friendly staff, this is a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality eye care and great customer service.
