Not all eye injuries require emergency care. That's why Clear Eye offers minor eye injury care services in Boise, ID. Many common, minor eye injuries can be safely treated at our optometry office. However, if you're dealing with a severe case such as a ruptured eyeball, suspected fractured eye socket or any eye-penetrating injury, call 911 or visit the nearest emergency room.
Contact us today to schedule a visit to our eye injury clinic.
We can help prevent further damage to your eye and get you back to your normal daily activities as soon as possible. Our minor eye injury care services can assist with:
- Scratched eye: Even a tiny scratch on the cornea can cause irritation and watery eyes. A doctor should evaluate any eye lens scratch to prevent further complications, like cataracts. If a foreign object caused the scratch, it should be removed by a professional.
- Hits to the eye: If you experience significant swelling, bleeding or blurry vision, it's important to see an optometrist. The eye may be at risk for a damaged or detached retina or other serious issues.
- Small foreign body in the eye or eyelid: Only a trained eye care specialist should remove foreign objects to avoid causing further damage or infections.
- Minor chemical irritation: While chemical burns should be treated in a hospital, minor irritations (like from a chlorinated pool) can be handled at an eye clinic.
