EMERGENCY / URGENT EYE CARE
Dr Bearden is highly skilled and experienced in managing Eye Emergencies and Urgent Eye Care. Many people incorrectly assume that going to Urgent Care, their Primary Care Doctor or the ER is the best place to go for Urgent Eye Care. These facilities often lack the equipment and experience necessary to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for urgent eye care. Most will tell you to see an Eye Doctor for your follow up care anyway - usually resulting in another office visit but, this time to an Eye Doctor skilled and equipped for managing urgent eye issues.
Examples of Emergency or Urgent Eye Care include:
Flashes of Light or sudden "streaks of light" in your vision
Floating Spots (spots or "strings/cobwebs'' or shadows in your vision"
Missing or Loss of a Part Of Your Vision
Sudden Vision Loss
Pain In or Around The Eye
Haloes around Lights
Distorted Vision
Bulging or Swollen Eye
Pink Eye
