Visiting our office

Is your eye doctor's appointment coming up? Are you worried about going to the eye office during the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic? Rest assured, keeping our patients and staff safe is our top priority. 

 

We anticipate that this outbreak will continue for a while, and do not want our patients to neglect their eye care needs during this critical time. Our optometric clinic is prudent and has adopted specific measures to protect our patients and staff from potential exposure to COVID-19 during this time of uncertainty. 

 

That said, guidelines for slowing the spread of this epidemic are rapidly changing. Please pay close to attention to local regulatory changes to get the most up-to-date information on whether practices can still remain open/ accept non-emergency cases.
