We are pleased to announce that we will resume routine eye care appointments and optical services on May 4.
In accordance with state and national guidelines, we will be performing enhanced procedures to ensure the safety of our patients and our staff. Starting May 4, all patients wanting to visit our office must first make an appointment and follow our new procedures:
- your car will become the new waiting room
- when you arrive for your appointment, please call the office from your car to let us know you are here
- we will gather health history and other eye concerns over the phone
- we will call you when we are ready to see you for your appointment
- we ask all patients to wear masks while in the office
These steps will help us reduce the number of people and time spent in the clinic and will allow us time to perform increased sanitation measures between patients.
Also remember to contact us for urgent eye care needs, for medication refills and contact lens refills, or to repair your broken eyewear.
Thank you for your patience and we are so looking forward to seeing you in the office!
