Eye Emergency Department
We run a 24/7 eye emergency unit. It is the only one of its kind in the North East. We see people who have serious eye injuries that may risk their sight. We also treat less serious, but still urgent, eye problems. People come to us from other hospitals and services to see our expert eye team.
We ask all patients to call our emergency eye team before they come to our Eye Hospital. This helps us to triage the problem and get you the right treatment more quickly.
Our emergency number is 0191 569 9952. Our team are there to answer the phone round the clock.
Where can I find the Eye Emergency Department?
This is at Sunderland Eye Infirmary.
You can reach it through the main entrance.
Follow the signs from the main corridor to get to the ward.
The Emergency Eye Department will move to the city centre when we open our new Eye Hosptial later this year.
