Urgent eye symptoms

A sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, or a dark curtain or shadow across your vision needs immediate assessment by an eye doctor or an emergency department. Do not wait for an online appointment request to be answered.

For other eye concerns during office hours, call (713) 522-2007 to ask about the appropriate next step. Calling the office is not a guarantee of a same-day appointment.
