In the event of any ocular symptom appearing in one or both eyes, the recommendation is not to self-medicate but to go to the ophthalmologist as soon as possible, as the evolution time is an important factor in the visual prognosis of some pathologies.
Despite that, we have created a Guide to Ophthalmological Emergencies with the most common reasons for consultations and what should be done in each case so you know how to react in any of these situations.
