Ophthalmology Emergency in Paphos: Urgent Eye Care When You Need It

Eye problems can develop suddenly and should never be ignored. Eye injuries, foreign bodies, contact lens complications, painful red eyes and sudden vision changes may require prompt ophthalmological assessment to protect your eyesight and prevent complications.

At ELPIS Medical Centre in Paphos, our modern and fully equipped ophthalmology department provides professional evaluation and treatment for a wide range of urgent eye conditions.

Urgent Eye Conditions We Assess

Our ophthalmology team can help with:

• Eye injuries and trauma
• Foreign bodies in the eye
• Contact lens-related pain, redness or infection
• Red, irritated, swollen or watery eyes
• Sudden eye pain
• Sensitivity to light
• Eye discharge
• Blurred vision or sudden changes in vision
• Chemical exposure to the eye

Contact Lens Problems

Contact lenses can occasionally cause irritation, corneal injury or infection. Remove your contact lenses immediately if you develop pain, redness, discharge, light sensitivity or blurred vision.

Do not continue wearing contact lenses until your eyes have been assessed and symptoms have fully resolved.

Foreign Body or Eye Injury

Dust, sand, metal fragments and other small particles may enter the eye and cause pain, tearing or persistent irritation.

Avoid rubbing the eye or attempting to remove a deeply embedded foreign body yourself. Prompt examination can help prevent corneal damage, infection and further complications.

When to Seek Immediate Eye Care

Seek urgent medical attention if you experience:

• Sudden loss or significant reduction of vision
• Severe eye pain
• Chemical exposure
• Significant trauma
• A suspected penetrating eye injury
• Persistent foreign-body sensation
• A painful red eye with sensitivity to light
• Contact lens-related pain or blurred vision
