COVID-19 Safety Measures
In an effort to practice physical distancing, our doors will be locked. We will only be allowing a limited number of patients, at one time, into our office and by appointment only.
Employees will be conscious of their physical distance between patients and try to maintain 6 feet of separation at all times.
Sneeze guards have been added throughout the office.
Thorough sterilization and disinfection will be conducted on the counters, surfaces and equipment between every patient visit using products that meet the EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
We have added air purifiers throughout the office with HEPA filtration and powerful UV-C light that eliminates up to 99.9% of viruses and bacteria in the air.
All staff members and patients will have their temperatures checked upon arrival.
Our optometric technician, who will prepare you for the doctor, will be wearing gloves and a face shield during your visit. We will keep close contact tests to a minimum
We will ask that you minimize talking during your exam to lower the transmission of aerosol particles. We will open our online patient portal to allow patients to communicate with the doctor to address any questions they have concerning their visit.
Dr. Covie has added a digital phoropter to his exam room. The phoropter is the equipment used to determine your glasses prescription. Not only is this new technology more precise, it will allow our doctors to perform the exam behind a sneeze barrier 6 feet away from the patient to limit the amount of close contact.
Each frame you try on in our frame room will have been cleaned with soap and water and sterilized with a UV-C Sanitizer that kills up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, without the use of chemicals or mercury
We will continue to offer direct shipment of contact lens orders for convenience and limit your need to come to our office.
