Safety Precautions
The health and safety of our staff and our patients is our priority. Cornelius Vision Clinic is abiding by Center of Disease Control (CDC) infection control recommendations. These are the changes you will see in our clinic:
- Installation of physical barriers at the reception
- Installation of physical barriers at close contact instruments (ie. Slit lamp)
- Alcohol based hand rubs provided through the clinic
- No touch receptacles
- Decreased wait time
- Removal of communal objects (Keurig station, toys, magazines)
- Waiting room chairs separated by 6 feet
- Disinfection of exam room and communal area between patient encounters
- Longer timeframe between patient appointments
- Clinic door kept open to increase air exchange and to reduce handling of the door
To help protect our community, we will ask that all patients and visitors wear their own cloth face mask upon entry. Temperature and COVID-19 symptom screening will be performed and documented. For contact tracing, we will be registering patient and visitor arrival and departures.
