Eye Health

On May 4th Nuvue Optometry will begin to re-open and provide essential eye care services. We will be providing a limited number of comprehensive examinations for patients who need a prescription and for eye health concerns (macular degeneration, cataract, glaucoma, etc.). Your safety is of the upmost importance and we are completely changing how we deliver optometric care to minimize physical contact.

The following procedures will be effect.

• Comprehensive exams will be limited to allow for hospital grade disinfecting between patients.
• Private optical appointments will be available for eyewear purchase. This will allow us to control the number of patients in the office and ensure all frames that were touched are removed for sanitization.
• Virtual appointments are available for any eye concern and can be done as a triage to determine if issues may be resolved without a physical examination.
• Physical distancing will be effect, only 3-4 non-staff members will be allowed in the office at a given time.
• Pre-screening will occur upon entering the office. All entrants will have non-contact temperature and O2 saturation taken.
• Hand sanitizer will be provided when entering the office and at multiple stations.
• During the pre-test and examination, doctors and staff will wear masks.
• We do recommend wearing a mask if you have one.
• The office will continually be disinfected in high touch areas. All staff will be washing their hands after every patient encounter.

Routine examinations could still be postponded at this time. We request that if any patient feels ill, they should stay home. Initially, the office will be open Monday through Thursday from 10am to 3pm.
