At the North Iowa Eye Clinic, the professional staff and doctors work hard to protect our patients’ vision throughout their lives and are there when emergencies come up. They are ready to design a comprehensive care plan for you.
If you are experiencing an eye emergency, please seek immediate medical attention.
Our staff are available to take your call Monday through Friday during our business hours. During off hours or on the weekends, please report to your nearest emergency room.
