Eye issues can happen without warning — whether it’s sudden vision changes, an eye injury, or unexpected irritation. When those moments strike, you need an optometrist who offers fast, reliable care.
At Associates In Eyecare, we prioritize your eye health with same-day emergency appointments and last-minute scheduling options, ensuring you’re never left waiting when it matters most.
When Should You Seek Immediate Eye Care?
Some eye issues can’t wait. You should call our office right away if you experience:
- Sudden or severe vision loss
- Eye pain, redness, or swelling
- Flashing lights or floaters
- Foreign objects in the eye
- Trauma to the eye area
Associates In Eyecare is equipped to provide prompt, expert care for a wide range of urgent eye conditions. Our eye care team works quickly to diagnose and treat problems before they become more serious.
How to Book a Same-Day Appointment
We do our best to accommodate last-minute patients — especially for emergencies. Here’s what you should know:
- Call as early in the day as possible for the best availability
- If you call late in the afternoon (close to our 5:00 PM closing), options may be limited
- Emergencies are always prioritized, and we’ll find time to see you when you need immediate care

What to Expect During a Visit
Even in an emergency, your visit is handled with care and professionalism. We ask for:
- Your vision and medical insurance information (if available)
- Basic personal details such as name and date of birth
- If you’re a new patient, we may also ask you to fill out a quick registration form
We also take a quick photo for patient identification, which helps us offer more personalized service in the future.
