Emergency Eye Exams

Eye emergencies are time-sensitive threats to your ocular health or vision, which means you need to take care of them quickly. At River City Eye Care, we provide emergency eye care to our patients in Edmonton when they need it. We can treat many ocular emergencies, from trauma or injury to red, painful eyes.

The eyes are delicate, so an injury or new symptom, no matter how seemingly minor, can lead to vision loss or even blindness. Obtaining treatment timely can save your eyesight. Call us immediately if you sustain an injury or exhibit symptoms of eye disease.

If we are unavailable, please call 911 or visit your local emergency room.
