First things first. Don’t panic! Staying calm is the best way to help you think straight and help those around you to remain calm. Often, it’s not necessary to go to an emergency room for eye emergencies. In fact, the vast majority of people who go to the emergency room for eye care could have received treatment from their local optometrist instead.

If you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing an eye emergency, give us a call immediately! Delay may increase the risk of serious complications and may result in vision loss.

Until you see your eye doctor or seek urgent care, avoid the following:

  • Don’t try to remove an embedded object out of your eye
  • If your eye is injured, don't press on it or rub it
  • Dry cotton and sharp instruments such as tweezers should never be used on the eye.

Whether you've had a workplace accident or an at-home incident, our eye doctors are here to help

Dr. Jones and all the staff were excellent. I am a new patient at this practice and was treated very... well. I was given information about what my insurance would cover with regards to frames. After looking it over I decided it was a better option to buy my own glasses, (I always get them online) however receiving the information was very helpful. I highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of an eye exam. I had a wonderful experience and great service.

Looking for a new eye doctor last year, I switched from a very old school, old fashioned optometrist... , and I feel as if I've stepped into a new age of eye care. BVC's office staff is extremely professional, very friendly (their smiles always help), and my appointments are always quick and efficient. My 9-year-old pair of glasses were wearing thin, so I purchased a new pair, and felt as if I was in another level beyond the glasses mills like Stanton's. Dr. Tran is also an excellent optometrist - very knowledgeable and personable. My exams were relatively pain free, and very comprehensive. With my current diagnosis, I felt very at ease with Dr. Tran's prognosis and treatment plan. If you're looking for a new eye or different eye doctor, I would recommend giving this office a try!
