Our ophthalmologists offer rapid evaluation and treatment for conjunctivitis, whether it's viral, bacterial, or allergic in nature. Treatment options may include prescription eye drops, ointments, or supportive measures to relieve symptoms and prevent spread of infection.
For patients with corneal abrasions or foreign bodies in the eye, our specialists provide immediate assessment and precise removal techniques to prevent further injury and promote healing. Topical medications and protective eye patches may be recommended for comfort and recovery.
Recognizing the urgency of acute angle-closure glaucoma, our ophthalmologists offer timely evaluation and management to lower intraocular pressure and relieve symptoms such as severe eye pain, headache, and blurred vision. Treatment may include medications, laser therapy, or surgical intervention to prevent vision loss.
Our team provides urgent care for corneal ulcers, conducting thorough examinations and initiating appropriate treatment with topical antibiotics, antifungal agents, or lubricating eye drops to promote healing and prevent complications such as vision loss or corneal scarring.

For patients with acute uveitis, our specialists provide prompt diagnosis and treatment to reduce inflammation and minimize ocular complications. Corticosteroid eye drops, oral medications, or immunosuppressive therapies may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Our ophthalmologists offer rapid assessment and management for corneal abrasions and ulcers, providing appropriate treatment with topical antibiotics, bandage contact lenses, or amniotic membrane transplantation to promote healing and prevent corneal scarring.
Recognizing the seriousness of acute orbital cellulitis, our team conducts urgent evaluations and initiates aggressive treatment with intravenous antibiotics, surgical drainage procedures, or orbital decompression surgery to prevent vision-threatening complications and systemic spread of infection.
