Expert Eye Doctors in Belleville

Scratches from dust, sand, or fingernails may seem minor but can cause discomfort, redness, and light sensitivity. While some scratches to the eye heal naturally, professional evaluation is key to preventing infection or scarring.

Chemical eye injuries, even a small splash in the eye, require immediate action. Flush your eye with saline or clean water for at least 15 minutes and call our office right away. Even seemingly minor exposure to chemicals such as cleaners, bleach, and household chemicals, can cause serious damage to your eyes if untreated.

Severe pain, blurry vision, or flashes of light could signal a serious condition like retinal detachment or acute glaucoma. These issues demand immediate medical attention, don't delay in seeking care.

If you're experiencing an eye emergency, call our office in Belleville without hesitation. Acting quickly can mean the difference between full recovery and permanent vision loss.

Eye infections, often called pink eye, happen more than most people realize. They’re surprisingly common, and while they usually aren’t serious, they’re definitely something you don’t want to ignore. Around here in Belleville, we see them all the time, especially during allergy season or when kids head back to school and germs start making the rounds.

The truth is, most eye infections are manageable, but that doesn’t mean you should wait it out or guess what to do next. Eyes are delicate, and a little irritation can quickly turn into something much more uncomfortable if left unchecked.

If you or your child wakes up with red, itchy, or goopy eyes, give our office a quick call. We’ll walk you through what’s going on and help you figure out whether you need to come in, or if there’s something you can do at home first.
