  • Sudden Vision Loss: Sudden or severe changes in vision, such as blurriness or partial blindness.
  • Flashes and Floaters: These may indicate a retinal detachment or other serious conditions.
  • Severe Eye Pain: Persistent or intense pain in or around the eye.
  • Redness and Swelling: Sudden redness, swelling, or discharge that could indicate an infection or inflammation.
