Travel Tips for your Eyes Only Eye emergencies can be frightening, and even more so when youre far from home and not sure where to seek help. Vision loss and eye pain can make navigating a new city difficult and worse yet, if not treated appropriately, can lead to permanent visual impairment DONT: Ignore changes in your vision ( Yes its worth repeating) Just because it isnt painful doesnt mean it isnt serious. One patient called me because he was having new floaters, flashes and blurred vision. He wasnt very concerned because he wasnt having any pain, so he wanted to schedule an appointment for the following week when he’d be home from vacation. But the symptoms are signs of a retinal detachment. Fortunately, he followed my advice to see a local ophthalmologist and his retinal detachment was treated the next day. geteyesmart.org/eyesmart/diseases/detached-torn-retina/vision-simulator.cfm
