COVID-19 UPDATE
Office Hours & COVID-19 Update
Beginning Monday May 11th we are open Monday through Friday 10 AM - 6 PM and Saturday 10 AM-2 PM for routine and urgent care, as well as eyewear purchases, by appointment only.
Contact Lens Orders We’re currently offering FREE SHIPPING on all new contact lens orders (minimum 3-month supply). For patients with recently expired, or soon to expire, contact lens prescriptions, we are offering a 6-month extension, if you prefer to hold off on your routine visit for a later date. Please call our office today and one of our trusted team members will be glad to assist you in processing your order. After hours, you can either leave a message and we will return your call or place an order here and they’ll be delivered directly to your door.
Safeguarding the health of our patients, staff, and local community remains our highest priority and commitment during these difficult times. We’ve taken comprehensive measures to ensure that our office remains safe and ready to serve you and your family. We've increased the frequency and depth of our cleaning and disinfecting to ensure that all of our furniture, equipment, supplies, and common areas continue to exceed the highest standards of cleanliness. We have also provided additional guidance to all of our team members regarding individual precautions and preventative best practices to continually promote a healthy and safe environment for all.
Social Distancing In order to promote social distancing and limit the number of patients and other visitors in our office at any given time, we kindly ask that only the patient, and a legal guardian for minors, are present for the office visit. Please leave all other family members or friends at home. Furthermore, we revised our patient scheduling policies to increase the time between patients to reduce the total number of patients in our office at one time.
Curbside Pickup We are pleased to offer a new temporary curbside pickup service for all contact lens and eyeglass pickups until further notice. Simply park, call our office, and a team member will meet you at the door!
Screening Questions If within the past 20 days, any of the following conditions apply to you, a family member, or anyone that you have been in close contact with, please call our office to have your glasses shipped directly to you.
Thank you for your continued and dedicated support and we look forward to seeing you soon!
What Contact Lens and Spectacle Wearers Need to Know About Coronavirus:
There is a lot of conflicting information out there and we want to make sure you are getting accurate information....
•Contact Lens Wear is Safe. Despite myths and misinformation that have arisen over the past few days, contact lens wear remains a safe and highly effective form of vision correction for millions of people worldwide.
•Proper Hand Washing is Essential. When using contact lenses or spectacles, careful and thorough hand washing with soap and water followed by hand drying with unused paper towels is paramount. For contact lens wearers, this should occur before every insertion and removal.
•Disinfect Contact Lenses. Contact lens wearers should either dispose of their daily disposable lenses each evening, or regularly disinfect their monthly and two-week lenses according to manufacturer and eye care professional instructions.
•Disinfect Glasses and Sunglasses. Some viruses such as COVID-19 can remain on hard surfaces for hours to days, which can be transferred to spectacles wearers’ fingers and faces. This especially holds true for presbyopes (people generally over the age of 40) who may be putting reading glasses on and off their face multiple times a day.
•Discontinue Lens Wear if Sick! Ceasing contact lens wear when sick is advised, consistent with guidance for other types of illness.
•Spectacles are Not Proven to Offer Protection. There is no scientific evidence that wearing spectacles or glasses provide protection against COVID-19 or other viral transmissions.
Yours in health,
Dr. Dawn Gammon & The Eyewear Gallery Team
