  • Pupils that differ in size
  • Bulging eyes
  • Severe eye pain
  • Double vision
  • Redness and irritation
  • Bruising or bleeding
  • Severe itching
  • Sudden headache
  • Discharge from the eye
  • Eyes not moving together
  • Sudden (even temporary) vision loss
  • Sudden vision changes or blurring

Call our office immediately should you experience any of these issues.
