Covid-19 Response In-Office Protocols

All staff must be vaccinated.
All staff will wear masks covering nose and mouth.
After each patient leaves, and before the next patient enters, the following must be disinfected:
- All automated equipment touched by previous patient, both in the front and exam room
  - Automated refractor
  - OCT
  - Retinal camera
  - Tonometer
All "sneeze guards" in the exam room
- Phoropter
- Slit lamp
Exam chair
Hands will be washed between patients.
Patients will be encouraged to use touchless credit cards or insert the credit card chip themselves — to reduce touching surfaces.
Air purifier is to be running 24/7.
Patients will be informed about office protocols when initially making the appointment, and during the reminder call.

All patients must be vaccinated. (Exceptions are only made for those that are able to demonstrate a medically valid reason for being unvaccinated.)
If a patient feels unwell or has been exposed to someone who has the virus, we request that they inform us ahead of time, and reschedules their examination.
Only one (1) patient at a time — no friends or family (unless the patient is a minor or disabled)
Purell is available upon entry.
All patients must wear a mask — covering both nose and mouth — at all times. Lowering the mask is not permitted. (Note: if the doctor feels that the patient's mask does not provide sufficient protection, the patient will be required to wear an office-supplied surgical mask.) Please note that even though everyone is vaccinated, masks covering the nose and mouth are still required.
Patient will fill out all requisite forms at the fitting table.
Patients will be encouraged to use touchless credit cards or insert the credit card chip themselves — to reduce touching surfaces.
