There are lots of people around the world that require some sort of vision correction. This can be from a young age and trying to see the chalkboard at school to adulthood and needing to see the road when driving. There are lots of types of vision correction that may be needed and your eye doctor is the one that can find what will work best for you. There are people that wear glasses to correct their vision while others choose to wear contact lenses. There are also some that like to use both to give their face or eyes a break from the each other. Whatever you use to correct your vision you want to make sure that you are able to see at all times. Each year you go in for your regular eye exam and then you pick out your new glasses or order new contacts. That does not mean that you will not come up against an emergency at some point that you need to see about getting service for. Delray Optical outlines when you need to ask for emergency services from your eye doctor.
Broken Eyeglass Frames or Lenses
One of the things that you are likely to come across at some point in your life of wearing glasses is that they will break. Most people are careful about caring for their glasses but they can still have an accident. If your glasses fall off your face and get stepped on or you leave them on a counter and they get hit off. There are many ways that your glasses can become damaged or broken. You need to be able to see especially if you are an adult and you are driving. This would constitute an emergency that you need to see your eye doctor about. They should be able to either order you a new pair right away or potentially repair your old pair to work until they arrive.
Contact Lens Problems
If you have started to wear contacts you know that it does take some time to get used to them. You have to get comfortable with putting them in and taking them back out. If you find yourself in a predicament that you are not able to do one or both of these tasks you need to call the eye doctor right away. They can help to make sure that you safely remove the contacts from your eyes and walk you through tips for doing it on your own.
Sudden Blurry or Cloudy Vision
If you find that you have a sudden loss in vision, double vision or even pain in your eyes, you want to make sure you see your eye doctor right away. These issues can be a sign that you have a serious eye problem that needs to be addressed immediately. If issues are not addressed it can lead to permanent damage to your eyesight. Any sudden change in your eyes should be viewed as an emergency.
