Dear Patient and Patient Families,
As of Tuesday evening, March 18th, Governor Steve Sisolak has ordered that all nonessential businesses to close for 30 days. Among other things the CDC has recommended that all routine eyecare be deferred until further notice, in order to slow the transmission of COVID-19 through our community and our nation. Therefore, our offices are following the CDC and the Governor’s recommendation to close temporarily.
Please be assured that we are still available to treat all urgent and emergent eyecare issues as well as help you with routine matters during this challenging time. Each office has reduced staff and schedules at this time to help you with your needs.
What does this mean?
- If you are or would like to schedule for an annual eye examination, we are currently scheduling for appointments starting April 19th.
- If you need to replace glasses or contact lenses and need an extension on your prescription, please contact us directly and we can assist you.
- If you have a valid contact lens prescription, you can order your contact lenses on our website at www.opticgallery.com and they will be shipped directly to you with no shipping charges.
- If you are running out of a medication, please contact us and we can submit a refill electronically to your pharmacy.
- If you are having an ocular urgency/emergency we are available to help you at any time. Please call the Optic Gallery office nearest you and wait for the instructions at the end of the message. The doctors will help you obtain the care you may need.
To stay abreast the latest information on COVID-19, the CDC has many resources and information that you and your family can arm yourselves with and help avoid undue stress.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html. We have asked our staff to stay home until further notice to protect them, our patients and our community. Despite the financial and emotional hardships this will cause, we know that we are doing our part to “flatten the curve”.
Together we will get through this. Vegas Strong.
With sincerest wishes for your continued good health we remain at your service,
The staff and Doctors of Optic Family Eye Care
