COVID-19, Emergency Office Protocol (4/29/2020)

Our priority is to make sure that you can have your eyes examined in a safe environment!

Cleaning, sterilization, and social distancing are at the forefront for our office and we are following CDC recommendations regarding these matters. As a result the following changes will be in place at our office:

• All patients and staff will be required to wear a mask.
• Hand sanitizer will be available for all patients.
• All appointments must be scheduled including glasses pickups and glasses repairs.
• Our doors will be locked and you will only be allowed to enter if you have an appointment.
• Only 1 person 18 and older will be allowed into our office. All other family members should wait in the car or stay at home.
• If the patient is under 18, one parent or caretaker will be allowed inside our office with them. All other family members should wait in the car or stay at home.
• Call 815-521-9950 when you arrive in our parking lot for your scheduled appointment. One of our staff members will ask you a series of questions and then open the door for you.
• All contact lens orders will be directly shipped to your home.
• All paperwork for your yearly exam will be filled out on our website under “Patient Forms”.
• If you have been exposed or been in contact with anyone that has COVID-19 in the last 2 weeks, we ask that you do not come in and reschedule your appointment.
