Modo Optometry in Marina del Rey sees urgent eye problems the same day during business hours, seven days a week: pink eye, a stye, a scratched eye, grit that will not rinse out, and more. Read the guide for your condition below, or call (310) 305-2950. For a chemical splash, a cut or punctured eye, or sudden loss of vision, go to the emergency room first.
Each guide covers one condition: what it is, the symptoms, common causes, how it is diagnosed, the treatment options, and when to see an eye doctor.
Our optometrists see every condition listed on this page the same day during business hours. Flashes and floaters are examined here, with a referral to a specialist if the exam calls for one.
Call (310) 305-2950 first and say what happened. The front desk fits you in the same day and tells you whether to come straight in or go to the emergency room instead.
Each of these is seen the same day during business hours.
Call (310) 305-2950. Say what happened, when, and whether you wear contacts, and you are fitted in the same day.
Your history, a vision check in each eye, then the slit lamp. A yellow dye shows scratches under blue light.
Debris is removed, drops or an ointment are prescribed, or a same-day referral is made to a specialist when the problem is surgical.
You leave with written instructions and, when the eye needs a recheck, the date to come back.
Red, painful, or blurry eye? Call (310) 305-2950. Same-day visits, seven days a week.
Go to the emergency room first for a chemical splash (rinse with clean water first, then go), a cut or punctured eye, or sudden loss of vision. The office is closed outside business hours, so at night those go to the nearest emergency room. Call us afterward and we will handle the follow-up.
A visit for an eye condition is a medical visit. It bills to your medical insurance, not to a vision plan, with that plan's copay and possibly a deductible.
Medicare and Blue Shield are in network for medical eye care. Bring your medical insurance card and a photo ID.
Plan not in network, or no insurance? You leave with an itemized bill, which an out-of-network plan may partly reimburse. Call (310) 305-2950 and ask before you come in.

Call first, (310) 305-2950, so the front desk can fit you in and tell you whether to come straight in. Walk-ins during business hours are seen as soon as a doctor is free. We are open Monday through Saturday 10am to 6pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm.
The office is closed outside business hours, including evenings. For a chemical splash, a cut eye, or sudden vision loss, go to the nearest emergency room. For an eye that can wait until morning, call when we open and you will be seen that day.
No. A visit for a symptom or injury is a medical visit and bills to medical insurance. Bring your medical card, and if you have no coverage, call ahead and ask.
The guides explain each condition in general terms. They do not replace an exam: only an eye doctor who has looked at your eye can say what is wrong and what it needs. If you are not sure whether your eye can wait, call (310) 305-2950 and describe it.
