Types of Emergencies
Eye care emergencies can come in many forms. Learn more about what an eye care emergency is, so you know when to contact us.
Pain
Eye pain in or around your eyes can be a sign of an emergency that may need swift treatment. Pain may feel like it’s on the front of your eye or like it’s coming from behind or the back of your eye. If you have something in your eye, it could scratch the surface. If something is protruding from your eye, don’t remove the object. Contact us as soon as possible.
Flashes or Floaters
Flashes of light or floaters in your vision can be a symptom of an eye care emergency. Even though your eye may look fine on the surface, serious vision-threatening conditions could be happening inside your eye.
Light Sensitivity
Sudden increased light sensitivity can be a common eye emergency symptom. For example, if you have slept in your contact lenses, there could be negative implications on your eye health.
Redness or Inflammation
Inflammation in your eye can be a result of irritants like sun, dust, allergies, and more. Inflammation can also be a result of more serious conditions and infections. It’s best to have your eyes checked to determine if you’re experiencing an emergency.
Vision Changes
If you experience a sudden decrease in your vision or loss of vision in one or both eyes, seek medical attention quickly.

Our Testimonials
I am 75 years old and have had issues with my eyes since birth, probably. I moved to Arizona 3 and 1/2 years ago and had to find all new doctors. On one of my first visits she diagnosed one of my conditions. It is called trichiasis. That is a condition where a person has two rows of eyelashes. They tend to curl inward irritating the eye. Now all that I need to do is have them pulled every few weeks and fairly soon they won’t even grow back.
I am so pleased to have found Dr. Serena Shao. She is opening a practice in Scottsdale and I will be driving 40 miles to be seen by her and her staff.

Every time I’ve came in for my eye visits Dr.Shao is very professional, thorough, and is always warm and sweet. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a eye visit or glasses. I give her a 10/10. I’ve been to several eye doctors and she is by far best one I’ve ever had!
