How do I know when my eye problem is an emergency? When should I self-treat, go to my eye doctor, or head to Emergency?

Eye as a general rule should never be self treated. This can lead to multitude of complications. But taking good care by wearing correct power, sunglasses, healthy diet is what you can do. Also you can wash your eyes with drinking cold water if something falls in your eye.
