This guide is educational information about eye and vision health — it is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified eye-care professional. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. See an optometrist or ophthalmologist for regular eye exams and about any change in your vision, and do not start or stop any medication without medical advice. SEEK URGENT CARE for sudden vision loss, a curtain or shadow over your vision, a sudden burst of new floaters or flashes of light, eye pain with redness, or any chemical or penetrating injury to the eye; in a medical emergency, call 911.
