COVID  Rules:
The  safety  of  our  patients  and  team  members,  remains  our  top  priority  amidst the  COVID-19  pandemic.  For  everyone's  safety  the  following  changes  have  been implemented:
1. Telemedicine will continue to be offered as an option for eligible patients.
2. Patients will be asked pre-screening questions at the time of appointment and upon visit confirmation.
      -  Have you been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19? Currently caring for someone  with COVID-19?
      - Do you and/or anyone you have been in contact with currently have a Fever, any symptoms such as cough,                                              - shortness of breath or sore throat?

4. We will wear KN95 or N95 masks, and single-use disposable gloves at all times during the visit.
5. We have air purifiers in the waiting area and exam room.
6. Plexiglass Barriers are in strategic places including the front desk, optical and exam room.
7. Slit-lamp and phoropter shields have been installed in the exam/clinic room.

For your appointment:

5 - Limit the number of non-essential guests (Exceptions will be made for patients with mobility issues, mental

   during their visit. One guardian may accompany a minor).
