Emergency Visits

Our office is covered 24/7 by either Dr Smith or by local board-certified ophthalmologists.  Patients who have had surgery with Dr Smith will always receive her personal mobile telephone number for any problems in the postoperative period.

Call us right away if you have a sudden change in vision, or if you see new floaters or flashes of light. Other symptoms that need quick attention are pain, double vision, fluid coming from the eye, and inflammation.

Unless there is injury to the eye that is associated with significant trauma to other parts of the body, it is usually preferable to be seen initially at our office for evaluation and triage in case of injury.  Please don’t wait to report pain or vision loss. We reserve appointment times each day for work-in visits.
