temporary changes due to covid-19
The CDC has asked eye doctors to defer routine exams in order to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Due to this and the need to increase social distancing and improve sanitization, you will notice several temporary changes in our office.
1- Until further notice, we are CLOSED on weekends.
2- Doctors will not be updating prescriptions during this time. However, we are available for urgent eye care. If you are experiencing eye pain, an infection, a foreign body in your eye, or any sudden changes in your vision, please DO NOT go to an emergency room. We are available to see you in these cases. Please call the office for an appointment.
3- We are still open to provide glasses and contacts. We are temporarily extending the deadline on expired prescriptions so we will fill any prescription you have. If you cannot get a copy of your prescription, we can make your glasses by reading your prescription off of your old lenses. Any glasses ordered during this time can be redone at no cost into a new prescription once the doctors are again able to provide services for prescription updates.
4- We are only allowing 3 patients at a time into the office. Please do not bring friends and family to the office. Send only one member of a family to pick up orders for the entire family. Patients who need adjustments can always come back later. Our door is locked. Please wait to be admitted and the staff will open the door for you. All of our frames are being sanitized between each patient and we will shortly begin fever screening anybody who comes to our office as soon as the new equipment arrives. You will be asked to sanitize your hands upon entering the office and again on exiting.
5- We are asking that you conduct as much business as possible over the phone. Please do not come to our office to schedule an appointment. Call us and we can schedule it for you. If you need replacement contacts, please call and in most cases we can handle the payments over the phone and ship them to your house.
6- In this unprecedented situation, our staff are doing the best they can to achieve a balance between offering you the best service possible and keeping you and themselves safe from this virus. Please be patient with them to allow them the extra space necessary to follow the new protocols. We understand that it can be frustrating, but we must all pull together in these uncertain times to be careful. We are all learning here so please, be kind to each other.
