Emergency Eye care

There are a range of eye conditions that can occur quickly and require immediate attention to hasten recovery and prevent long term damage. Some of the signs and symptoms that indicate you should have your eyes promptly seen by Riant Eye Clinic’s optometrist Dr Mary Ejiata Ochuko include:

A painful corneal inflammation that required urgent topical medication to resolve.

• Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
• Unusual pain in the eyes, especially with movement of the eyes or blinking
• Unusual sensitivity to bright lights
• A new headache that does not get better with pain medication
• Double vision (seeing two of everything) that has not occurred before.
• A red or swollen appearance of the eyes
• Discharge (mucous or pus) or unusual watering from the eyes
• Itching, irritation or dryness of the eyes
• Foreign material such as metal or plant material hitting or becoming embedded in the eye
• The appearance of spots of light, flecks, insect-like shapes, curtains or veils in your vision

Treatment of Acute Eye Conditions
Our optometrists are therapeutically trained which means that he can prescribe a range of topical and oral medications for your eye condition. Unfortunately it may become apparent during your consultation that you have a more serious condition outside the scope of even a specialty practice like Riant Eye Clinic. In this instance Dr. Mary will be able to promptly refer you to the appropriate medical professional for treatment.
