COVID-19

We want you to know how NRV Eye Center is taking measures now and throughout the coronavirus pandemic to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Visiting our office is safer than ever. We are practicing proper masking, physical distancing, handwashing and disinfection of frequently touched surfaces. We ask that family members that are not necessary for patient physical movement or emotional support wait in the car.

NRV Eye Center continues to follow safety precautions as we monitor COVID-19 in our communities. If there are changes in scheduled appointments, we will notify you. In the meantime, please do not delay care for you or a loved one.

We are offering in-person care for all ophthalmology conditions and outpatient surgical care.

The following information describes the comprehensive precautions we have put in place to help ensure the safety of patients and staff members for in-person care. We also continue to offer tele Health visits for established patients for problems that do not require an in-person visit.

We are here for you during this pandemic — and as we move forward — to safely treat you both in-person and remotely.

We have implemented the following safety guidelines at our offices

• Everyone is screened for COVID-19 symptoms and risk factors upon entry into our office.

• All books, magazines and toys are removed from all waiting areas.

• All staff members, patients and visitors (if permitted) must wear masks in the facilities (except children under age 2).

• Our waiting room chairs are configured to allow us to maintain 6 feet of physical distancing.

We are extremely focused on keeping our facilities clean.

• Surfaces and equipment are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, using products that are effective against a range of organisms and viruses, including the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

• We clean our waiting rooms frequently.

• Our exam rooms and treatment rooms are cleaned and disinfected frequently, including before and after each patient.

• Hand sanitizer is available.

• All medical staff members sanitize or wash their hands before and after interacting with patients.
