Preparing for an Emergency

When preparing for emergencies, vision care is often overlooked. But emergencies can strike at any time — whether a natural disaster, power outage, or medical situation — and being prepared means making sure your eyes are covered too.

Eye Care Emergency Preparedness Tips

• Keep a spare pair of glasses or contacts. Always have an extra pair of prescription glasses or contact lenses and the necessary supplies (solution, cases) in your emergency kit.
• Include a copy of your prescription. Store a current copy of your eyeglass prescription and contact lens details — including the brand and lens type — in your emergency documents.
• Know where to go. Identify nearby optometrists or urgent care centers that offer vision care, so you know where to turn if you experience an eye injury or emergency.
• Keep medications accessible. If you use prescription eye drops, include a backup supply in your emergency kit.
