Urgent Vision Problems We Treat

Some eye problems can’t wait. That’s why Parkway Eyecare offers same-day appointments whenever possible for urgent concerns. If you’re worried about your eyes, don’t hesitate to call—we’ll help you get the care you need.

We commonly treat:

  • Eye Infections: Red, itchy, or swollen eyes may be signs of conditions like conjunctivitis (pink eye).

  • Eye Injuries: From scratches on the eye’s surface to foreign objects, injuries should always be checked promptly to avoid long-term damage.

  • Sudden Vision Changes: Flashes of light, new floaters, or sudden loss of vision can signal serious problems and should be addressed right away.

If you’re ever unsure, it’s better to be safe and call us. Dr. Heintz and our team will evaluate your symptoms and provide the right treatment or guidance.

Treating Common Eye Conditions

Not every eye concern is an emergency, but even common conditions can affect your comfort and daily life. We provide care for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Presbyopia: A natural part of aging that makes it harder to see up close. We offer solutions like reading glasses, bifocals, and progressive lenses.

  • Astigmatism: Caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, astigmatism leads to blurred or distorted vision. Glasses or contact lenses can correct it.

  • Allergies: Seasonal or environmental allergies can make eyes itchy, watery, and irritated. Treatment options range from prescription drops to lifestyle adjustments.

  • Other Concerns: Eye strain from long hours on screens, light sensitivity, or trouble focusing.

Whatever the concern, Dr. Heintz takes the time to explain your condition in simple terms and recommend treatments that fit your lifestyle.

How We Diagnose & Treat Eye Conditions

Every eye condition is different, which is why we start with a thorough eye exam to understand what’s happening and why. Dr. Heintz uses digital refraction, OCT scans, and Optomap retinal imaging to get a complete picture of your eye health.

Once we’ve identified the cause of your symptoms, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include prescription medications, corrective lenses, or simple lifestyle changes. And because we know eye problems can feel stressful, we always take time to explain your results in clear, easy-to-understand language.

When to Urgently Call Our Eye Doctor

Some eye symptoms should never be ignored. If you experience any of the following, contact Parkway Eyecare right away:

  • Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes

  • Flashes of light or a sudden increase in floaters

  • Eye trauma or injury

  • Chemical exposure to the eyes

  • Severe eye pain, redness, or swelling

We do our best to offer same-day care for urgent eye problems. If your emergency happens after hours, please seek immediate help at the nearest emergency room.
