Current COVID-19 Protocols (updated 08/2020)

Office Safety

Keeping patients and staff healthy and safe is our top priority. We are continuing the following enhanced practices:

Scheduling a time for eyewear pick-ups, repairs, adjustments, and frame selections. In order to protect the safety of our staff and patients, we are limiting the number of patients in our office at any given time.

Upon arriving to our office, please wait in your vehicle and call our office to check-in.

• CDC Guidelines: We make every effort to meet or exceed all CDC standards for cleaning and minimizing exposure risk. The waiting room and front desk are sanitized after every patient and exam rooms are cleaned and disinfected after each visit. All cleaning agents used in our office meet the EPA’s criteria for use against Covid-19. We follow the label directions for each cleaning product and select products for each individual piece of equipment we have in our office following the manufacturer’s directions. Employees regularly wash and sanitize their hands.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Dr. Medina and staff all wear masks and use other PPE as needed. Everyone entering our office is also required to wear a mask or face covering, which covers their nose and mouth, at all times while in our office and are given a mask if they do not have one. We also have hand sanitizing/handwashing stations throughout our office.

• Social Distancing: Waiting room seating has been reduced and the seating rearranged for social distancing. Appointments are staggered. We ask that only the patient being treated enter the office to limit unnecessary interaction. Patients are being escorted directly to exam rooms whenever possible to minimize time together in a waiting room.

• Patient and Employee Screening: We screen patients and employees for symptoms (inclusive of temperature checks) daily and those with symptoms are asked to reschedule and return home.

• Online Portal: In advance of an appointment, patients are asked to complete much of the registration online (Patient History, Financial Policy, HIPPA acknowledgement, Contact Lens Agreement) to minimize front desk interaction.

• Curbside Pick-up or Direct Shipping: We offer curbside pick-up of eyeglasses and contact lenses. We also offer shipping to your home or office.
