❗️IMPORTANT COVID-19 INFORMATION❗️

The health and safety of our patients, staff and doctor has always been our top priority.

Due to the impact COVID-19 has had on our community, we will be following federal, state, local and the American Optometric Association’s guidelines. We will be seeing patients for urgent “essential” eye and vision care only. This care includes, but is not limited to, vision loss, redness, pain, trauma, infection, a foreign body in the eye, and other such trauma. Exams required for eyewear or contact lenses due to a lost or broken pair will also be provided. Glasses and contact lenses can be ordered and sent to your home or arrangements can be made for you to safely pick them up. Routine annual exams will be scheduled for a later date. If you feel there’s a reason you should be seen that is not listed here, please call our office to speak to Dr. Berger. We will provide updates as they are available.

If you have an appointment scheduled and it is for the “essential” reasons mentioned above, please let us know as soon as possible though no later than the morning of the appointment if:

• You have recently been out of the country or visited an area in the United States that has a heavy COVID-19 outbreak.
• You have had contact with someone who was diagnosed with COVID-19 or has symptoms of the illness, which includes fever, shortness of breath or a cough.
• You have any symptoms of COVID-19, which include fever, shortness of breath or a cough.

If any of the above is true, please go to your local hospital that can treat you using the appropriate safety precautions and proper disease mitigation equipment.

Lastly, if you have a current prescription for eyeglasses or contacts we may be able to fill them for you by meeting you right outside of our office to pick up your prescription. Please call us from your mobile phone, or knock on the door, to let us know you are outside. We will call you when your items are ready and you can pick them up (we can meet you outside or at your car). We can also mail them to you. For annual exams of a non-urgent emergency nature, please delay your appointment temporarily. If there’s a reason that you feel you should be seen please call the office to speak with Dr. Berger.

Do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions. We appreciate your cooperation and thank you for helping us to keep you, our patients, staff and doctor safe and healthy.

Dr. William Berger, O.D.
