Important information regarding Coronavirus COVID-19

In our effort to continue to help “flatten the curve” and to abide by the federal “Stay at Home” guidelines, Dixon EyeCare Associates plan to reopen our office, resuming comprehensive eye care services beginning WEDNESDAY, MAY 20th.
Our practice is prepared to welcome you back for routine eye health and vision needs. We are following recommendations from our professional organizations, the CDC, and directives from the State and County officials.
Your doctors and staff at Dixon EyeCare will continue to provide you with state of the art, advanced eye care services. What will be different as part of our “new normal” will be policies, procedures, and safeguards that all are intended to ensure the health and wellbeing of our patients, doctors and staff.

                                                                                **Clean Practice Protocol for COVID-19**

• We would love to shake your hand or give you a hug. We ask that you join us in abstaining from these greetings until the COVID-19 pandemic is resolved.
• To continue practicing social distancing measures, our schedules will be modified in order to limit the number of persons in the office at any time. Patients should come alone to their appointments or have others remain in the car if possible or wait in the interior courtyard of the medical center. Exceptions are made for minors and those in need of support.
• All patients and staff will be screened prior to entering with an contact-free temperature check to rule out fever. Anyone (staff included) who has a fever, cough, shortness of breath, and body aches will be asked to return home/reschedule your appointment for a later date.
• All doctors and staff will wear face masks during all patient interactions. We ask that patients come to their appointments with a mask or appropriate face covering.
• Hand sanitizers will be available throughout our office and will be used by everyone as they enter. Our staff is instructed to use before and after every patient interaction, as well as abide by strict handwashing protocol as recommended by the CDC.
• Extensive cleaning procedures using hospital grade disinfectant are used in all areas of our practice throughout the day and following each patient interaction.
• We have installed plexiglass shields at our front desk and dispensary tables.
• We have installed plexiglass shields on diagnostic equipment in exam rooms to create a barrier between patient and doctors during close proximity testing.
• We will contact you prior to your appointment to go over several questions that we normally would ask in the exam room as well as COVID-19 screening questions.
• Please click on Patient Forms to download and complete forms. You may email us your forms, vision and medical insurance cards prior to your visit. Email: dixoneyecare@dixoneyecare.com

You can be assured that every effort is made to provide our patients excellence in eye care in the safest way possible. We look forward to welcoming you back to our practice.
