Dear Valued Patient: Our office is preparing to resume regular in-office eye exams and we are now scheduling appointments.
Why now?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the state and local public health officials, the Illinois Optometric Association (IOA) and the American Optometric Association (AOA) earlier recommendations of postponing routine eye care is no longer in effect as of the end of April 2020.
Governor Pritzker's executive order requires that safety measures be put into place for essential businesses, including health care providers.
We have implemented enhanced screening measures and safety precautions in order to protect the health and safety or our patients, staff and community.
Our safety protocols are summarized as follows: • Reschedule your appointment if you are sick, have a fever or have been exposed to COVID-19
• Appointments will be scheduled so that only one patient at a time is in the office
• Patients should come alone to their appointments (if possible and in any event with no more than one other person)
• Patients must put on masks before entering the office per IL Executive Order
• Immediately upon entering the office, provided hand sanitizer should be used
• We request all paperwork be completed prior to appointments
• We will disinfect all patient contact areas and examination and diagnostic equipment before and after each visit with Pure & Clean, a hospital grade disinfectant/sanitizer
• All eyewear that has been touched by a patient in our optical dispensary is cleaned after handling
• Always call the office prior to coming to pick up any materials or for eyeglass repair or adjustment
In addition to implementing safety measures for our patients, we will also be implementing screening protocols for our staff. We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 crisis and are following the guidance and expertise of the CDC, AOA and IOA
