Can I book a same-day appointment in case of an emergency?

When it comes to eye health, sudden symptoms such as blurry vision, flashes of light, eye pain, or loss of vision can indicate serious conditions that require immediate medical attention. In such cases, being able to secure a same-day appointment can be critical in preventing long-term damage or vision loss. As a patient, it’s important to understand how a clinic handles emergencies—whether they reserve time slots for urgent walk-ins, have a triage system to assess the severity of your condition, or direct you to a partnered hospital or emergency center if needed. Asking this question not only helps you plan for unexpected situations but also gives you confidence in the clinic’s responsiveness and commitment to urgent care. It’s especially relevant for international patients or travelers who may not know how the local healthcare system handles emergencies.
