Sudden onset of any of the following symptoms may also indicate an emergency:

• Burning or stinging
• Pupils that differ in size
• Bulging eyes
• Severe eye pain
• Double vision
• Redness or severe itching
• Bruising or bleeding
• Sudden headache
• Discharge from the eye
• Eyes not moving together

Call our office immediately should you experience any of these issues.
