When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Contact your doctor or seek immediate medical care if you experience sudden, severe eye swelling accompanied by vision changes, such as blurred vision, double vision, or loss of vision. This is especially urgent if the swelling affects both eyes.

Severe Symptoms Requiring Immediate Action

Severe eye pain alongside swelling demands immediate attention. Likewise, any swelling that obstructs your vision requires rapid assessment and treatment. Don’t delay if you notice increasing redness, pus, or discharge from your eyes.

Other Urgent Situations

Seek immediate medical help if you experience difficulty breathing or swallowing alongside eye swelling. This combination could signal a serious allergic reaction. Also, contact your doctor immediately if you develop a severe headache or fever concurrent with the eye swelling.
