Health screening
- Prior to your appointment, our staff will ask you screening questions. Similarly all staff will need to answer the same questions before starting work daily. If you are feeling sick or have been exposed to anyone COVD-positive in the last 3 weeks, please call us to re-schedule your appointment
- We still ask that patients not bring anyone with them into the office. Exceptions are for minors (patients under the age of 18) or other patients that may need assistance. In each of these exceptions, only one other individual will be permitted. We request other family members stay in the car and not enter our office.
- We are keeping our doors locked until further notice. A staff member will greet you at the door to let you in and give you hand sanitizer.
- Multiple patients in the office will be avoided if possible. In the rare times that there are multiple patients in the office, we ask that you stay at least 6 feet away from others.
- Staff will wear additional protective gear including masks and lab coats, and protective gloves if in close proximity to patients. Staff working close to patients will be using an N95 mask.
- Our front desk and optical desk have been fitted with Plexiglas barriers to protect both patients and staff.
- All patients and visitors will be asked and required to wear a mask to their appointment for the entire time they are in the office. Surgical masks are available in the office if you don’t have a mask. We request that you discard any gloves that you may be wearing before entering the office; we can provide you with nitrile gloves if desired.
- If you are unable to physically wear a mask, we will be unable to see you in our office until further notice.
- A high efficiency (HEPA) filtration and uv air cleaner is situated at both the optical desk and in the exam room.
- All examination, lab equipment, and surfaces that patients come into contact with will be sanitized with CDC approved disinfectants immediately after each patient encounter.
- Frames that are tried on will be sanitized with a uv sanitizer before being displayed again.
- Please limit the number of personal items that you bring with you; no food or drink containers please.
Frame Selection
- During frame selection, you will be required to keep your mask on.
- The optician will bring you several frames to try on; you will not be able to take frames off the board on your own, to both maintain social distancing and to keep track of frames that need to be sanitized.
- We strongly encourage you make an appointment for dispensing of glasses, as well as frame adjustments for previously dispensed frames. We will accept "walk-ins" but you may need to wait until patients with appointments have been seen.
Thank you for helping to keep our community healthy.
