Do not wait to seek treatment for eye injuries.

Dr. Obermark Eye Health Care will help you avoid expensive and time-consuming trips to the emergency room with our emergency eye injury treatment services. Even a walk-in medical clinic will often refer patients to our offices because eye injuries require a specialist's care.

Most commonly, eye injuries occur when something scratches the cornea. More severe trauma could come when exposing the eye to chemicals or major trauma. The most common symptoms of an eye injury include eye pain, redness, or discomfort. Treatment of an ocular injury depends on the severity of the injury.

Foreign

Body

A corneal foreign body is an object (metal, glass, sand, etc.) embedded in the cornea of the eye. Removal of any foreign body needs to be dealt with in a timely manner. If it is left in the eye, it could cause pain or infection and lead to more complications. Let us help you with any foreign body removal before going to the emergency room. We can save you time and money, as we have a licensed professional to assist with such needs.

Chemical

Burns

A chemical burn is an emergency and can cause damage within three to five minutes of exposure. Treatment for chemical burns starts with pain-relieving medication, antibiotics to help reduce the risk of infection, and lubricants applied to the surface of the eye to help prevent the eyelid from sticking to the cornea as the burn heals. Make us your number-one stop for chemical burns. We have everything we need to assist with such injuries.

Contusions

An eye contusion is when blood vessels around the eye are damaged or broken after an injury causing a black eye. An eye contusion is often caused by a blunt object or penetration of an object. Eye contusions could lead to cataracts, glaucoma, inflammations, hemorrhages, or retinal detachment.

Even the smallest injury needs to be looked at by an eye care professional. Don’t wait until an injury has affected your vision. Let us help you right away and help you achieve the best visual acuity possible.

Sports

Injuries

Prevent sports injuries by getting sports safety glasses for the athlete. In sports, more than 40,000 eye injuries occur within a year in the United States, and about 90% of ocular injuries are avoidable with proper eyewear.
