Same-Day Eye Care for Eye Emergencies and Sudden Vision Problems


Eye problems can happen unexpectedly. Whether you wake up with a painful red eye, develop sudden blurry vision, or experience an eye injury, prompt evaluation is important to protect your vision and eye health.

At Richman Eye Care, we provide urgent eye care services for many common eye emergencies and same-day eye concerns. Our goal is to diagnose the problem, begin appropriate treatment, and help you find relief as quickly as possible.

We proudly serve patients throughout Plano, North Dallas, Richardson, Allen, Frisco, and surrounding communities.


What Is Urgent Eye Care?


Urgent eye care refers to the evaluation and treatment of eye conditions that require prompt medical attention but may not necessarily require a visit to an emergency room.

Many eye problems can be effectively diagnosed and treated in an optometric office, often with less waiting and lower costs than a hospital emergency department.

If you are experiencing a sudden eye problem, we encourage you to contact our office to determine how quickly you should be seen.


Common Eye Conditions We Treat


We evaluate and manage many urgent eye conditions, including:


  • Red eyes
  • Eye infections
  • Pink eye (conjunctivitis)
  • Eye pain
  • Foreign bodies in the eye
  • Corneal abrasions (scratched eyes)
  • Sudden blurry vision
  • Flashes and floaters
  • Dry eye flare-ups
  • Styes
  • Eyelid swelling
  • Allergic eye reactions
  • Contact lens-related complications
  • Eye irritation
  • Light sensitivity
  • Chemical exposure to the eyes
  • Minor eye injuries


If your condition requires additional specialty care, we can help coordinate an appropriate referral.


Symptoms That Should Be Evaluated Promptly


You should contact an eye doctor as soon as possible if you experience:


  • Sudden vision changes
  • Eye pain
  • Redness that does not improve
  • New flashes of light
  • A sudden increase in floaters
  • Loss of peripheral vision
  • Light sensitivity
  • Eye trauma
  • Foreign body sensation
  • Chemical exposure
  • Double vision
  • Swelling around the eye


Early evaluation can often help prevent complications and improve treatment outcomes.


Red Eye Treatment


A red eye can develop for many different reasons, including infections, inflammation, allergies, dry eye disease, corneal injuries, or contact lens complications.

Because the treatment depends on the underlying cause, a professional evaluation is often necessary to determine the appropriate course of care.


Eye Infections and Pink Eye


Eye infections can cause redness, discharge, irritation, tearing, and discomfort.

We evaluate common eye infections and conjunctivitis (pink eye) and provide treatment recommendations based on the specific diagnosis.

Because not all cases of pink eye are contagious, an examination is important to determine the cause of your symptoms.


Flashes, Floaters, and Sudden Vision Changes


New flashes of light, a sudden increase in floaters, or a curtain-like shadow in your vision may indicate a potentially serious retinal condition.

These symptoms should be evaluated promptly to rule out retinal tears, retinal detachment, or other sight-threatening conditions.


Foreign Body Removal and Eye Injuries


Dust, metal, debris, and other foreign materials can become trapped in the eye and cause significant discomfort.

We evaluate many types of eye injuries and can often remove superficial foreign bodies safely in the office.

Prompt treatment may help reduce the risk of infection and other complications.


Contact Lens-Related Eye Problems


Contact lens wearers occasionally develop complications such as:

  • Eye infections
  • Corneal irritation
  • Corneal abrasions
  • Contact lens intolerance
  • Redness and inflammation

Because some contact lens complications can threaten vision if left untreated, prompt evaluation is recommended whenever symptoms develop.


What to Expect During an Urgent Eye Care Visit


Your examination will be tailored to your symptoms and concerns.

Depending on the nature of your condition, we may:


  • Evaluate your vision
  • Examine the front surface of the eye
  • Assess the cornea and eyelids
  • Measure eye pressure when appropriate
  • Dilate the eyes if necessary
  • Evaluate the retina and optic nerve
  • Develop a treatment plan based on our findings


Our goal is to identify the cause of your symptoms and begin appropriate treatment as quickly as possible.
