Not all eye problems can wait. If you’re experiencing sudden vision loss, flashes of light, eye pain, or a foreign object in your eye, you may need urgent care. At EyeCheck Calgary, we provide emergency eye exams for patients in Fairview, Ogden, Southwood, and across the city—often with same-day availability. Seniors and children are fully covered under Alberta Health Care, and we offer direct billing for adults. From infections and injuries to acute vision changes, we take fast, focused action. If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, call us—we’ll guide you on what to do next. Contact EyeCheck Calgary for an emergency eye exam when every minute counts.
When something happens to your eye: sudden vision changes, intense pain, or debris under your eyelid; it’s hard to know where to turn. The ER might seem like the only option, but many eye emergencies can be treated faster and more appropriately at a clinic like EyeCheck Calgary.
We’re fully equipped to assess and treat urgent eye issues, and we know when to escalate care. We often see patients from Lake Bonavista, Oakridge, or Acadia who had no idea they could book an emergency exam directly with us.
If you’re dealing with symptoms that are sudden, painful, or visibly affecting your eye, don’t wait. Fast diagnosis and treatment can make all the difference—especially when it comes to preventing permanent damage or infection.
Our team handles a wide range of urgent concerns with our emergency eye exams; no referral required. Here’s what we commonly assess and treat:
Whether it’s dust, metal shavings, or debris from yardwork, we carefully remove the object and assess for corneal damage. Leaving it in place or trying to remove it at home can make things worse.
If your vision suddenly changes in one or both eyes, it could signal a retinal issue, optic nerve problem, or even a stroke-related event. We use imaging and visual testing to assess what’s happening.
Seeing flashes of light or a sudden increase in floaters can be a sign of retinal detachment. This requires immediate attention to avoid permanent vision loss.
Eye pain isn’t always due to dryness or fatigue. Sharp or throbbing pain—especially with nausea or vision changes—can signal acute glaucoma, inflammation, or injury.
Not all red eyes are minor. We differentiate between allergies, infections like conjunctivitis, and more serious inflammation like uveitis or keratitis. You’ll leave with the right diagnosis—not just a guess.
In our emergency eye exams, we manage chemical injuries from household cleaners, sprays, or workplace accidents. Prompt flushing and assessment are key.
We’ve treated emergency walk-ins from Crestview, Willow Park, and Ranchlands with everything from corneal abrasions to eye infections. We act quickly—and if your case needs hospital attention, we’ll coordinate a referral without delay.
