We Value Our Patient’s Health; Envision Eyecare’s Response to COVID-19
Dear Patients,
The health and safety of our patients and our team is the number one priority here at Envision Eyecare.
We are monitoring the status of COVID-19 carefully, staying informed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as State and Federal agencies regarding gatherings/events recommendations. We would like to let our patients know the steps we are taking to minimize your risk and ensure the safest and healthiest environment for everyone.
The Envision Eyecare Team is sanitizing all patient care areas before and after each patient, using sanitizer and washing our hands for 20 seconds or more, and staying home if we feel ill. We are disinfecting and sanitizing the lobby and common areas; wiping down chairs, tables, displays and restrooms. We are also disinfecting frames, measuring instruments, and desk before and after each patient.
We have a temporal artery scanning thermometer on order. Once in the office mandatory temperature testing for all team members and patients will begin. Any with a fever will be asking kindly to leave and return when they no longer have a fever. The definition of a “FEVER”: Medically, a person is not considered to have a significant fever until the temperature is above 100.4 F (38.0 C).
We are monitoring our patient care schedule based on the published guidelines. Currently we are running our normal business hours, but we will notify you immediately if there are any changes.
At this time we encourage everyone to stay alert and be diligent. Please follow all recommended sanitary and hygienic guidelines. We encourage any patient who is not feeling well to reschedule their appointments as soon as they are aware of symptoms in order to make room for other patients that need care.
The CDC has provided resources on what you need to know regarding COVID-19. Please take a moment to review for further information.
