NOTICE OF COVID CHANGES
Our doctors and team hope everyone is staying safe, healthy and well through this new norm. Although the last few months have been challenging for all of us professionally and personally; this situation has allowed our doctors and team members to grow professionally through extra training and education. We have implemented many new safety protocols in our office to keep everyone safe and healthy:
- Our office will be using EPA approved cleaning and disinfectants products. We will be running UVC filters and ozone cleaners through out the office. We also will have hand sanitizer using nanotechnology to kill viruses and bacteria for purchase at our office.
- One exam per hour to allow enough time for cleaning and disinfecting.
- One parent in the exam room with a minor at a time.
- All doctors and staff will be wearing proper face covering to protect YOU, we ask that you do the same upon entering our facility.
- Temperature will be taken. If 99.5 or higher, or if you are feeling ill, you will be asked to reschedule.
- When you arrive for your appointment, please call or text us before entering. All forms will be done electronically.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we navigate through this together. Please call or text us at (972) 250-0700 should you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends that your child have a thorough optometric eye examination by the age of 3, to make sure his or her vision is developing properly and there is no evidence of eye disease. This exam will include an evaluation of how the eye muscles are developing in your child or infant. If needed, your doctor of optometry can prescribe treatment, including eyeglasses and/or vision therapy, to correct a vision development problem.
Often time, a child can pass the vision screening at the pediatrician or at school and still have uncorrected refractive errors or other vision issues. Signs such as rubbing eyes, not wanting to read or do homework for more than 20 minutes, complaining of headaches or strain are all reasons to have our child examined.
Parents, don’t worry that your child can not read letters or numbers to do the exam! We got it handled and have ways of determining their vision correction and eye health.
Does your child currently wear vision correction and the prescription is increasing significantly each year? Would you like to learn how to slow this down? Talk to your doctors today or call our office for more information.
