As you all are aware the coronavirus crisis has caused tremendous disruption in the routine aspects of our days as a society. The health and saftey of our patients here is our priority. as such we are complying with the newest guidelines given to us by the CDC, AOA and state authorities as follows:

All routine an non emergent examinations are currently being rescheduled to April
(If an emergent situation occurs during hours the office is closed, emergency eye care is provided at UMMC)

We will be open from 9:00am to 1:00 pm for medical eye care only. The need for an appointment will be assessed and triaged over the phone during these hours.

If an appointment is scheduled please do not bring anyone with you inside our office. if someone must accompany you we ask that they wait in their vehicle. If you or a family member has had any flu-like symptoms in the last 14 days we ask that you do not enter our building for any reason but rather call to to discuss your optometric needs.

We appreciate your understanding during this time of confusion and unknown. Our decisions have been made with our patients and community as our first priority.  We will continually monitor the situation as it unfolds and adjust our approach as necessary. We look forward to the day this is all behind us and are doing our part to bring about that day as quickly as possible. In the meantime please be wise and stay healthy!

Best wishes for good health,
The Optical Shoppe

Also remember to:

Symptoms
• Mild to severe respiratory illness with fever, cough, and difficulty breathing
• Symptoms may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days


Transmission
• Spreads person to person through small droplets from nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales.
• Can catch the virus by touching objects and surfaces that droplets have landed on and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth.


Steps to take to minimize risk
• Wash hand with soap & water for at least 20 seconds
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people that are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw away the tissue in trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
• Ensure employees have ample facilities to wash their hands.
   
PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY
Covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze with your elbow or a tissue will greatly reduce the number of germs that are able to spread to people and objects around you.

Even if your illness doesn't seem very bad to you, it could be much more serious for someone who catches your germs.

SOCIAL DISTANCING

What Is Social Distancing? Social distancing is a way to keep people from interacting closely or frequently enough to spread an infectious disease. Here in the office we're asking you to not sit next to each other to observe Social Distancing. Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations, please be respectful of others boundaries.
