Minor Eye Conditions:
Minor eye conditions can include issues such as:
• Red Eye or eyelids
• Painful/Uncomfortable eyes
• Irritation and inflammation of the eye
• Significant recent sticky discharge from the eye or watering
• Recently occurring flashes or floaters
• In growing eyelashes
• Recent and sudden loss of vision
• Foreign body in the eye
While these conditions may not always be serious, they can cause discomfort and impact your vision if left untreated. Our experienced Optometrists are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of minor eye conditions, offering tailored treatments to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
