At Ocean Eye, the health and wellbeing of our staff and patients is one of our highest priorities. As we all know, there is a lot of discussion and concern about the spread of COVID-19. We wanted to take a moment to communicate how we are taking proactive steps & approaching this concern within our offices.
We are currently remaining open to see patients, with some modifications:
- We kindly ask that only the patient with the appointment enter our office at this time. All minors may be accompanied by only one adult. Please kindly call the office (843) 873-1889 if you need to reschedule your appointment in light of this new visitor policy.
- If you are picking up glasses or contacts please also limit pick-up to one person coming into the office.
- We are currently suspending adjustments on glasses through 4/6/2020. All frames will be placed in ‘standard alignment’ prior to pick up. This will ensure that they fit well for the majority of our patients. You may still pick up your glasses during our normal business hours. Any further adjustments to new glasses will be made after 4/6/2020.
- All patients will be screened at the time of check-in. If a patient is not well at their time of arrival, we may choose to reschedule the appointment to a later date.
- If you can answer “yes” to any of the following questions, please call the office to reschedule your appointment:
- Have you had a recent/current fever?
- Do you have a cough/upper respiratory symptoms?
- Do you have shortness of breath?
- Have you or anyone you’ve come in contact with traveled to China, Iran, South Korea, Or any European country within the last 14 days?
- We pride ourselves on clean facilities and have increased our cleaning efforts in all offices. We will be cleaning lanes, exam rooms, optical gallery, and all waiting areas multiple times throughout the day.
Thank you for choosing Ocean Eye as your eye care provider!
