COVID-19 Updates
[In light of these interesting times, we are waiving our usual hatred of pop-up windows for this regularly-updated notice.]
As of 7/13/2020, we are scheduling and performing all types of eye exams! Per Panhandle Health District's guidelines, masks are strongly recommended any time you visit our clinic.
While we are "open for business," we are scheduling any and all visits to our clinic, to help us preserve a healthy level of social distancing in our facilities at all times. We can mail or dispense any glasses or contact lenses curb-side; any other in-person dispensing needs must be pre-scheduled with our staff.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates on our business, info on how COVID-19 affects your eyes, links to community resources, and other relevant topics. In the meantime, here's some ways you can help us stay open:
-
Leave extra family members at home! We will turn away ancillary visitors at the door and request they stay in their vehicles or outside.
-
If you or a family member have experienced symptoms of any new, contagious illness in the past 14 days, please postpone your visit until 72 hours after all symptoms are gone. Possible COVID-19 symptoms per the CDC include fever, chills, shaking with chills, cough, shortness of breath, unexplained muscle aches, sore throat, new loss of smell or taste, red eyes, a runny nose, or bowel discomfort (including stomach pain, nausea or diarrhea). For this reason, we are effectively banning all infectious and flu-like symptoms from our clinics. Chronic conditions are excluded from this requirement.
-
If you have a red eye complaint that sounds viral in nature, our doctors will do their best to treat you from home using telemedicine, so that you do not need to enter our clinic. If your needs exceed what we can offer remotely, we will refer you to a regional specialist for care.
Thanks for helping us reduce all contagious disease cases in our clinic and our community! Keep smiling and stay healthy, Boundary County!
