A message from our family to yours

First and foremost, as a family-owned small business, we thank you for your continued loyalty and support, of not only our business but all local businesses. We are proud to serve our community and be your optical professionals of choice.

During these complex times, we have been diligently monitoring updates surrounding COVID-19 and wanted to share extra precautions we are taking as well as some tips from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). 

As a licensed eyecare provider in our community, we have always held ourselves to strict hygiene and cleanliness standards. In light of the increased impact of COVID-19, we have increased the frequency of daily cleaning routines. Additionally we are taking extra measures to disinfect all adjustment tools after use, every frame after being tried on, and all surfaces after each patient visit. 

Since we’re a family run business typically open 6 days a week, we feel it is of utmost importance during this time to stay healthy so we may continue serving our community. With this in mind, we are taking the remaining Sunday’s off in the month of March. If you would like to visit us outside of business hours, please reach out to us so we can better serve you.

It is known that COVID-19 can spread through the eyes and the following are some guidelines from the AAO:

1. If you wear contact lenses, consider switching to glasses for the time being to minimize the occurrence of touching your eyes
   
2. Don’t skip your eye exam, but do take precautions. All medical professionals follow strict hygiene and disinfection guidelines. If you are sick, have a cough or fever, do call the office prior to your appointment; your doctor may ask you to stay home and reschedule.
   
3. Stock up on prescription eye medicine[s] if you can, such as glaucoma or allergy drops. If you do get quarantined, it is a good idea to ensure you have enough prescription medications stocked up. 
   
4. Avoid rubbing your eyes. Try using eye drops if your eyes are dry and remember to wash your hands with soap and water, prior to administering any eye medicine.
   

Since COVID-19 can spread through the eyes, washing your eyewear daily to disinfect them is also a good idea. Mild dish soap and water are great to get the job done; avoid using Windex, hot water, or alcohol on your eyewear. 

With our community in mind, we would also like to remind everyone to look out for each other and be kind. If we are to get through this as a community and end up stronger, everyone needs to actively work on staying healthy. Please consider only taking what you need when shopping for perishable foods and not contributing to food waste. 

Lastly, our goal has always been to deliver a seamless experience for picking out new eyewear. If there is something we can do to accommodate your visit and make your experience more comfortable, please feel free to let us know ahead of your visit. We will continue to seek out the best frame styles and fit you in the best lenses, so you may continue to see the world clearly. Thank you for your continued support of our small business and others in our community.

Warmly,
​Esther, Mary, and Michael
