Get Care Right Away for These Symptoms

Some eye symptoms need care now, not a questionnaire. If any of these happens to you, or to someone with you, stop and get help today. Do not fill in a form or leave a voicemail and wait.

  • Sudden loss or a big change in vision, in one eye or both
  • Severe eye pain, or a bad headache together with vision changes
  • A chemical splash in the eye, or an object, cut or blow to the eye
  • A sudden burst of flashes, a shower of floaters, or a dark curtain across your vision
  • New double vision, sudden eye swelling, or one pupil that looks different from the other

What to do next

Chemical splash: flush the eye with clean water straight away, then call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Sudden vision loss, severe pain, flashes, floaters or a curtain: call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. These can threaten your sight, and time matters.

Urgent but not an emergency: during office hours, call the office nearest you so the team can advise you directly.

Answer a Few Questions About Your Eyes

Nothing here fits the red flags above? Then pick the answer that sounds most like you, and say how long it has been going on. Two taps and you get a plain-language explanation, a link to the service page that fits, and a way to book.

This guide organizes your questions, it does not diagnose you. Only an eye exam can tell you what is going on.

Step 1 of 2

Where do you notice it most?

Dry Eye Self-Check and Your Request

Dry eye rarely shows all its faces at once, so a short check can be useful before you come in. Tick the statements that sound like your eyes, then add your details if you would like a call back. Your ticks travel with the request so the team can see what you noticed.

Which of these sound like your eyes?

0 of 5 ticked

A self-check is a starting point, not a diagnosis. Ticking something here does not mean you have dry eye.

Choosing an office here does not send your request straight to that office. The team confirms where and when with you.

Keep this short and general. Please do not include detailed medical history or anything you would not want sent by email in this message.

This form is for office hours and routine requests. It is not an emergency route. For sudden vision loss, severe pain, a chemical splash, flashes, floaters or a curtain across your vision, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

What Happens at the Visit

Bring the answers you just gave and anything that helps: your current glasses, your contact lens details, a list of the medicines you take and the name of your vision plan.

Your optometrist asks about your symptoms and your daily routine, then examines your eyes. Depending on what you describe, that may include checking your prescription, how your eyes focus and work together, your tear film, and the health of the front and back of the eye. Drops that widen your pupils may be used, which can blur close vision for a few hours.

You leave with a clear explanation of what was found and what the sensible next steps are, whether that is a new prescription, a dry eye plan, a change to your lens routine or a referral.

What This Guide Can and Cannot Do

The guide asks about what you notice and what it might be worth reading next. It is built from general eye care information, and it is the same for every visitor with the same answers.

It cannot diagnose you and it does not recommend a treatment. Two people with dry, gritty eyes can have very different causes, and only an exam with your history and your eyes in front of the optometrist can tell them apart. If your answers include anything urgent, treat the red flags at the top of this page as the priority.

If you would rather skip the questions, that is fine. Choose your office below and book a visit, or call the office nearest you.

Your Next Step: Choose an Office

These interactive tools are educational demonstrations, not diagnoses, benefit guarantees or prescriptions. An exam and a conversation with the team help you choose care that fits.
