Emergency Eye Care in Lakeport

Konocti View Optometry provides emergency eye exams in Lake County for urgent and potentially vision-threatening conditions such as eye infections, sudden vision loss, trauma, and other serious eye problems. In many cases, optometrists are the first line of care for eye emergencies, and ER physicians may also refer patients to us for immediate evaluation and treatment.

Same-day emergency eye care

What sets our practice apart is availability. We are the only office in Lake County that routinely offers same-day emergency eye care appointments on the days we are open. If you call us with a true eye emergency during our regular business hours, we will make sure you are seen the same day.

If you’re unable to reach our office or have an eye emergency after hours or on weekends, head directly to the emergency room.

What counts as an eye emergency?

Don’t wait to call us if you’re experiencing any of the following:

Sudden vision loss, temporary vision loss, or dimming
Flashes of light or new floaters
Sudden onset of double vision
Eye infections
Eye trauma or injury
Eye pain or swelling
Foreign bodies in the eye, including metal, rock, sand, wood, or other organic matter
Acute red eye, especially in contact lens wearers

These symptoms can indicate serious, vision-threatening conditions that require prompt evaluation. Acting quickly can mean the difference between preserving and losing your sight.

Comprehensive emergency care, including specialist referrals

Our eye doctor doesn’t just treat what can be handled in the office. If your condition requires care from an ophthalmologist or urgent diagnostic testing such as an MRI or CT scan, we can typically coordinate a same-day referral to get you the care you need immediately.

For example, if a patient comes in with symptoms that indicate a heightened stroke risk, we refer them to the ER right away. Our referrals typically get patients seen immediately—without the delays that often come from walking in unannounced.
