COVID-19 Letter to our patients

COVID-19 Coronavirus Updates

Eye Associates understands the health and safety concerns of our patients and staff. We will follow the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and AOA (American Optometric Association) guidelines in resuming safe eye care services to our patients and community.

These eye care services include contact lens exams, appointments to replace glasses, urgent and emergent issues including pain in the eye, sudden onset of flashes or floaters, trauma to the eye, and sudden decrease in vision.

How Does Retinal Imaging Technology Improve Our Patient Care During COVID-19?

Retinal imaging allows our optometrists to be thorough in your eye exam without the necessity of dilation or a face to face interaction. This protects both you and our staff from any COVID-19 risks.

A wide-field retinal/fundus photograph also allows us to see blood vessels, neurological tissues, and the optic nerve without invasive techniques. By examining these areas we can establish the health of those tissues responsible for light perception, high-resolution acuity, night vision, systemic circulation and ocular neuro-communication to the brain.

Learn more about our Retinal Imaging technology.

Due to the nature of an eye exam, and the close working distance in which our doctors and staff associate with patients, we will do our part in both managing proper social distancing and use of personal protective equipment for our employees and doctors.
