What constitutes an eye urgency or emergency? Opinions vary widely, but a sudden loss of vision is an emergency, so is an alkaline burn to the eye for example with ammonia or limewash. In fact, https://www.eye.md/ suggests any sudden onset of visual symptoms is an urgency and a consultation with licensed doctors at EyeHelpOnline is indicated.

Testimonial

The week I moved to Ecuador I got a red eye and didn't know what I had. I needed help right away and the Dr online diagnosed my condition and prescribed the right medicine and it went away. It was so convenient and I was fine after that. I did it in my hotel room!
