Which of the following symptoms require same-day appointments according to urgent eye care guidelines?

  1. Blurred vision

  2. Flashes of light

  3. Itchy eye

  4. Watery eye

The correct answer is: Flashes of light

Flashes of light require same-day appointments according to urgent eye care guidelines because they can be a symptom of a serious eye condition such as a retinal detachment. Prompt evaluation and treatment are essential to prevent permanent vision loss in such cases. Blurred vision, itchy eye, and watery eye, although they can also indicate eye issues, are typically not as urgent as flashes of light and may not require immediate attention.
