Coronavirus Appointment FAQs

We’ve taken several additional steps to help ensure the health and safety of our patients and staff at this time.

Here’s what our team is doing to keep you safe:

• All employees are wearing a mask. For your safety and ours, we’re requesting that patients please wear protective masks at the time of the visit.
• All employees are screened daily for COVID-19. Staff with respiratory symptoms return home and do not return to work until well.
• Removing chairs to keep patients socially distanced in both waiting rooms to a max of three patients
• Continuing no guest policy
• Opening up the schedule by priority
  • e.g. patients with glaucoma, AMD, cataracts prior to those just needing glasses.
• After each patient encounter, we’re washing our hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
• We’re also washing our hands after every time we cough or sneeze.
• We’re routinely cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces such as exam chairs, computer keyboards, and mice, pens, phones, light switches, door handles, faucets, etc.
• Having our team avoid non-urgent personal travel and follow the same return to the office protocols as patients.
• Scheduling daily meetings with staff to share the best practices, workflow adjustments, and protocols.
