Abstract
Emergency physicians are well prepared to diagnose and manage the majority of visits requiring emergency ophthalmology consultation. However, deciding which cases require the expertise of an ophthalmologist and in what time frame can be a challenge. This article attempts to provide guidelines to the emergency physician regarding when to call for emergency ophthalmology consultation.
