If your eyes seem to be infected, and you are experiencing vision changes, you will definitely need to come in immediately to see our Millville CA eye doctor. Your eye can be infected for several different reasons. Something may have happened to cause infection. Sometimes patients will get a small amount of chemical into their eye which causes infection. Infection can also occur when there is a small scratch to the cornea. The important thing to know is that when left untreated, eye infections can cause damage to the eye quite quickly. This is especially true if you wear contact lenses. If you are contact lens wearer and think that you may have an eye infection, you will do well to immediately remove your contact lenses and wear glasses instead. Shingles can also affect the nerves of the eye and can cause swelling, pain and drainage which mimics an eye infection. For an appointment to meet with our eye doctor regarding any problems with your eyes, including treatment of eye infections, contact us today.
