When to call

Urgent eye symptoms

Some ocular symptoms should be addressed urgently, and our optometrists can examine your eyes (in-person or via telemedicine) if you have any of the following symptoms:

  • Sudden vision loss
  • Acute pain in the eyes
  • Foreign bodies in the eyes
  • Ocular trauma or chemical exposure
  • Sudden onset of flashes and/or floaters
  • Acute redness/irritation/discharge

Call (604) 553-3900

If you have a red eye, a painful eye, sudden vision loss, or flashes and floaters, you should call us.

After hours

If we’re not open

If we’re not open and you’re experiencing any of these issues, you can visit your local emergency room or urgent care clinic to seek help.

Severe injuries and sudden vision loss.

The current site has no line telling patients when to go straight to an emergency room or call 9-1-1 (for example a chemical splash or a serious injury), so none is shown. Please supply the wording you want here, and confirm that telemedicine exams are still offered.
