OFFICE UPDATE REGARDING COVID-19

Our office is open for regular hours.

All patients and family members age 2 and older MUST WEAR A FACE MASK OR SIMILAR COVERING OVER THE MOUTH AND NOSE.

(Exceptions in certain circumstances, such as the young child refusing to wear a mask).

Patients/families are kept isolated as best as possible. Patients will be brought immediately to an exam room if the waiting area does not allow a distancing of at least 6 feet. You may also wait in your vehicle until your exam is ready to begin.

We continue to offer Telehealth visits when appropriate.

Please reschedule your appointment if you or your child are not well, or have had any fever within 7 days of the appointment.

Finally, thank you for your understanding and for putting your eyes in our hands!

VIRTUAL VISITS: REMOTE EXAMINATIONS

The office remains open during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our practice now has the availability to perform an examination remotely. This visit will consist of a face-to-face video chat. We recommend this for problem-focused visits, for example injuries and infections. This is best suited for patients who have an isolated urgent problem and who wish to avoid coming to the office. This is NOT recommended for routine matters. Insurances are covering these services as if they were visits performed in the office.

If this is something you wish to schedule, our office will guide you through the appropriate steps.

The greatest challenge, and limitation, for the visit is how we can measure the patient’s vision, also known as visual acuity.

There are apps available which you can download to your device which can measure visual acuity. One such app is “Eye Chart” or “Eye Chart Pro”. You can also print an eye chart which can be used to measure vision at a distance of 10 feet. We can provide you with that document.

For this visit, you need to have access through your mobile device with camera,  or computer or laptop with a webcam.

Thank you for considering this option.
