How to Wear a Face Mask Correctly
Welcome back! Your Doctor is Ready to See You!
Our practice is ready with new procedures. Here is what you should expect to see:
• The “welcome crew” may ask you to wait outside, or in your car, instead of in the normal waiting room. This is to protect you, the other patients, and the office staff from possible virus exposure in crowded waiting areas.
• The office is likely to restrict the number of people who enter. If you do not need someone to be there with you, do not bring anyone to your appointment.
• Expect to see hand sanitizer when you enter the building and in the waiting room and exam rooms.
• Expect to be asked to wear a mask. You won’t be alone. All staff and other patients will be wearing one as well.
• Waiting room chairs will be spaced out to accommodate social distancing.
• You will not see magazines or other high-touch materials that could pass the virus.
• Cleaning will occur more frequently throughout the clinic.
• As usual, exam rooms and equipment will be thoroughly cleaned after every patient exits.
• Expect to be asked a series of questions to determine your risk profile.
• Expect someone will take your temperature prior to you entering the building.
• Your eye doctor may use a special plastic breath shield on the slit lamp machine they use to look into your eyes. They may also wear a mask with a plastic shield over their eyes.
• There is a backlog of patients who delayed care, so you may have to wait for your appointment. Also, the additional precautions required in operating rooms will likely result in fewer surgeries performed each day.
• Our primary responsibility as physicians is to our patients’ safety and health. It’s the core of the medical profession. If you have questions or concerns about coming into our office, give us a call. As always, we will be guided by what’s best for you.
We're back to seeing patients in the office. Please note the following safety measures we've added since your last visit:
-Daily health screenings of all employees and patients, including temperature monitoring
-All employees required to wear appropriate personal protective equipment
-Requiring masks for patients and approved visitors
-Appropriate hand-washing and sanitizing protocols
-Cleaning our facilities, medical equipment, and eyeglasses with hospital-grade products approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to kill the coronavirus that causes COVID-19
-Developing innovative ways to limit in-person contact, and using phone and video interactions when appropriate.
-Telehealth appointments are still available for those who cannot physically come into the office. Please call the office at 614-878-1571 to set one up.
Our office agrees that we can safely wear contact lenses despite the COVID 19 pandemic.
