ANNOUNCEMENT

As of Monday, May 4, 2020, the Alberta Government has issued a directive to allow optometry clinics to offer routine eye exams in addition to urgent, critical, and emergency care services. As you know, these rulings can change at any minute, so we must all do our part.

In order to keep everyone safe, we have safety protocols in place that are to be followed by all patients and staff. In booking an appointment, the clinic staff will ask important screening questions and will advise you of the safety requirements and procedures in the clinic. All patient related equipment is sanitized between patients and safety shields have been placed on examination equipment that requires close contact.

You can help by following below:

• Of course, only come to our office if you are in good health and have not travelled.
• Call our office prior to coming to the front door, as it will be locked to maintain that adequate social distancing and cleaning measures are met.
• If you have a scheduled appointment, call us when you arrive outside.
• Attend your scheduled appointment alone or only with those individuals who are required to assist you with your appointment.
• You will be required to sanitize your hands as you enter the clinic.
• Please wear a face mask, if you have one.
• Maintain physical distancing of 2 meters (6 feet).
• Ask for assistance with trying on eyeglass frames, as these are sanitized after each use.
• As we provide our usual high standard of care to all patients, as always, please be respectful of all doctors and staff during these stressful times.

Thank you for your assistance in helping to keep our families, your family, and the community healthy!
