Notice to Patients of Oakmont Eye Care COVID-19 Update

1. We are open! However, we are restricting access to the office to the patient only. No drivers or family members are permitted unless the patient is a minor or needs assistance. However if you have a fever, cough, or upper respiratory problems, we will not be able to see you at this time.
2. For any patients who have broken or who have lost their glasses and for contact lens patients who would like to wear glasses for added protections and to decrease touching their eyes, please call our office as we are trying to accommodate these needs on a case by case basis.
3. We are still seeing patients for injuries, red eyes, and other ocular emergencies. For red eyes, we will check your temperature and case history before you enter the office . We now know that COVID-19 can cause “pink eye” similar to other viruses that we have always treated.

Our answering service will prompt you in how to contact the doctor on call. If you are not a current patient, you will need to contact your current eye care provider or be seen at an urgent care or emergency room.
