How to Use the Eye Center

Follow the path that fits your situation. You can return here whenever you need a different resource.

Choose a known condition or begin with a symptom you have noticed.

2. Check the urgency

Review warning signs when symptoms are sudden, severe, or rapidly changing.

3. Seek appropriate care

Use the information to prepare for—not replace—professional evaluation.
