Eye Urgent Care

Eye Emergencies Can't Wait — And Neither Should You

When something is wrong with your eyes, every minute matters. At Lakefront Eye Care | Aesthetics & Wellness, we provide specialized Eye Urgent Care services with same-day and ASAP appointments for the moments when your eyes need immediate attention.
 

Why See an Eye Doctor — Not the ER

Here's what most people don't realize: when you go to the emergency room or urgent care clinic for an eye problem, you're usually seen by a physician who isn't trained in eye care and doesn't have the specialized diagnostic equipment to properly evaluate your condition. The result? Longer waits, higher costs, and often a referral to an eye doctor anyway.

At Lakefront Eye Care, you'll be seen by an eye care professional with the training and the technology to diagnose and treat your condition accurately — the first time. It's better care at a fraction of the cost.
 

What We Treat

Our Eye Urgent Care services cover a wide range of acute eye conditions:

• Eye injuries and trauma — from sports, work, or daily life

• Foreign objects in the eye — metal, dust, debris, or other materials

• Sudden vision changes — blurriness, flashes, floaters, or vision loss

• Eye pain — sharp, dull, or throbbing

• Red or bloodshot eyes — with or without pain

• Eye infections — including pink eye (conjunctivitis), styes, and corneal ulcers

• Chemical exposure or burns

• Swelling of the eye or eyelid

• Contact lens complications — stuck lenses, corneal abrasions, or infections

• Call us first — we'll triage your situation and get you scheduled immediately

• ASAP scheduling for urgent situations — even if the online calendar looks full

• After-hours resources to connect you with an eye specialist, no matter the time — nights, weekends, and holidays

Advanced Diagnostics When It Matters Most

Our office is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to quickly and accurately assess urgent eye conditions, including:

• Firefly Digital Slit Lamp for detailed anterior segment evaluation

• Eidon Ultra-Wide Field Retinal Imaging for rapid assessment of the retina
