What we can treat urgently
Our optometrists diagnose and treat many urgent eye problems, including:
- Corneal abrasions and foreign bodies
- Conjunctivitis (pink eye) and eyelid infections (styes, chalazia)
- Contact lens‑related complications
- Iritis/uveitis and sudden light sensitivity
- Flashes/floaters evaluation and retinal tear screening (with referral if needed)
- Minor injuries and allergic reactions
We use advanced imaging and in‑office treatment options when appropriate. When a surgical procedure or hospital care is needed, we coordinate same‑day referrals with local specialists.
Insurance & costs
Urgent eye visits are typically billed to medical insurance rather than vision plans. We accept many major plans in Hawai‘i. If you have questions about coverage or costs, please call before your visit and we’ll help you understand your options.
