Optometrists do so much more than prescribe glasses and contact lenses. Many eye emergencies that take patients to the emergency room at their local hospital can actually be treated by optometrists.
At LMC Optometry, we’re equipped to handle many eye emergencies. Call our offices immediately if you’re experiencing an ocular emergency.
There are many situations which warrant immediate action to prevent vision loss or further injury.
Some examples of eye emergencies include:
In the event of an ocular emergency, remain calm and do not try to self-treat.
Remove contact lenses (unless in the case of a chemical splash)
Your vision is precious. If you’re experiencing an eye emergency, you’ll need to find help quickly to preserve your sight and prevent further injury. Of course, if we’re closed or otherwise unavailable, go straight to your local emergency room.
Our optometrist at LMC can diagnose and manage conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and digital eye strain.
It’s recommended to have an eye exam in an eye clinic at least once every two years, or annually if you have existing eye conditions or risk factors.
For minor vision issues like 20/40 acuity, contacts are usually an effective choice for correction. Different lenses are available at LMC Optometry for different refractive errors.
Annual eye exams are completely covered by OHIP for children (19 and under) and seniors (65 and older). However, adults aged 20-64 must pay for routine eye exams themselves or use private insurance, as these exams are not covered by OHIP.
You can book an appointment online through the LMC Optometry website or by calling the specific location nearest to you.
