How do you find an emergency eye doctor near you?

Websites such as LocalEyeDoctor.com, Local.com and YP.com allow users to search for local emergency eye doctors by city or ZIP code. Contact information is provided with listings.

If an eye emergency occurs, do not rub or press on the injured eyes. Do not remove contact lenses unless there is severe swelling, and do not remove a foreign body in the eye or use cotton swabs on the eyeball. According to DoctorsVisionCenter.com, a doctor should be immediately contacted if something is penetrating an eye, a chemical is the eyes, there is a change in vision or if nausea and a headache accompany pain in the eyes.
