Like many of you, we started 2020 reaching for the stars. What a great year in vision, right? How many fun things could we do with this year? As we stared strong, we were quickly faced with having an office in the first area of infection for COVID-19. Then, as the virus and concerns spread, so did our need to keep our employees and patients safe. As a result, we were forced to close our clinics around that state until we could ensure a safe clinic to our patients.
Now, as some of you may know, we are back operating in full swing. This may bring a lot of questions to our patients, what are vision offices doing to keep patients safe? The eyes and face are the largest areas in which this virus can enter to body. So, we took on this task and want to advise that we have successfully been operating for several months under the CDCs recommendations.
Per the CDC guidelines, this is what we are doing in our offices every day:
Please know that we love what we do. From our doctors, optometrists, receptionist, and staff we want to serve our patients to the best of our ability. We know that vision cannot wait, so we are doing our part to protect those who trust us with their health as we partner with the community to fight this disease, together!
