Emergencies
There are very few eye conditions necessitating emergency treatment outside normal working hours.
The following are some of the conditions that require treatment within a few hours or next morning if during the night.
– Trauma involving a laceration to eyeball or eyelids
– Severe pain associated with reduction in vision to eye
– Profound loss of vision in one eye particularly if associated with pain over temple area or pain on chewing.
