EYE EMERGENCIES
In New York City
When something suddenly goes wrong with your eyes, you need fast, expert help. At Vision On Park, we provide emergency eye care in New York City NY for urgent eye injuries, infections, and vision problems — with concierge-level attention, including after-hours access to Dr. Tejal Rana when needed.
From eye trauma to sudden vision loss, we’re here to protect your sight when it matters most.
Common Eye Emergencies We Treat
Our Midtown emergency eye care center regularly helps patients with:
- Eye infections (redness, discharge, pain, swelling)
- Eye injuries (corneal abrasions, blunt trauma, cuts)
- Sudden vision changes (blurry vision, partial or total loss)
- Flashes of light, new floaters, or curtain-like vision changes (possible retinal detachment)
- Foreign bodies in the eye (metal, glass, debris)
- Chemical burns or splashes
- Contact lens-related complications (pain, redness, corneal ulcers)
- Severe dry eye or scleral lens issues needing urgent attention
If you’re unsure if it’s an emergency — call us. We’d rather guide you early than risk delayed care.
Common Causes of Eye Injuries
We often see eye injuries caused by:
- Sports accidents (ball impact, elbow, fall)
- Workplace injuries (metal shavings, chemicals, equipment)
- Home accidents (cleaning product splashes, sharp objects, DIY mishaps)
- Cosmetic or beauty mishaps (lash extensions, makeup injuries, product irritation)
- Contact lens misuse or overwear
No matter the cause, we’re equipped to assess, treat, and guide next steps.
What to Do in an Eye Emergency
If you experience an eye emergency:
- Do not rub or press on your eye
- Remove contact lenses if possible (unless embedded)
- For chemicals: flush with clean water immediately
- For foreign objects: avoid trying to remove anything embedded
- Call our office at 212-689-2333 for guidance
If symptoms are severe (loss of consciousness, deep laceration, head trauma), go to the nearest emergency room — and contact us afterward for follow-up care.
