In Regards to COVID -19 (the Coronavirus) . . .

Our Commitment is to Our Patients

Howerton Eye Clinic is OPEN REGULAR HOURS at all three locations for all patients in need of eye care. Contact us now to schedule your in-office appointment or Telehealth visit with an Ophthalmologist.

In order to keep our patients and staff safe, all patients are REQUIRED TO WEAR some form of a face covering during their appointments. Please arrive with your face covering already in place when you check-in to your appointment.  As part of our new safety precautions your temperature will be checked upon arrival.

We also take every necessary precaution to keep our office safe and clean during these times. All patients and staff are required to wear face coverings at all times and all office areas are sanitized throughout the day. We always encourage patients to wait outside on the benches or in their cars if they are uncomfortable in the waiting areas.  We will never force a patient to wait anywhere they are not comfortable.  A patient has the right and always has the option to decide for themselves.  Sometimes Ophthalmic visits can take a while due to the amount of testing that is needed, but we do our best to keep that wait time as low as possible.  

If you are scheduled for an appointment or need to schedule an appointment please review the questions below and contact our office prior to your appointment if you answer yes to any of the following:

• Do you currently have a fever or any respiratory issues including shortness of breath or coughing?
• Have you tested positive for COVID -19 in the last 30 days or are you currently seeking a diagnosis for COVID -19? 
• Have you been around anyone else with a fever or respiratory issues in the last 14 days? 
• Have you been around anyone who is being tested for COVID-19 or already has a positive diagnosis of COVID -19 in the last 14 days?
• Have you or someone you've had contact with traveled in the last 14 days? 

 At this time due to the increase in COVID cases, we are only permitting the patient in office for their appointment. If you have a caregiver, guardian, or Power of Attourney they may attend the visit with you. 

If you have an appointment for more than one child (under the age of 13) please let us know in advance so we can make sure we can accommodate you.

We thank you for your patience and understanding! Please contact us if you have any questions; WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!
