COVID-19 Update, updated 05/01/2020

To Our Patient Family:  We're here for you and your eyecare needs! We will be expanding our services to include non-emergent eye care.

We have made adjustments to our services to ensure the health and safety of our patients and staff in compliance with CDC and KDHE guidelines. For the protection of our patients, we have implemented the following in our clinic: 

Physical protections - an air scrubber with UV-C light has been installed in our facility to purify and sanitize the air. Sneeze guards are being installed and we continue to sanitize instruments and areas of patient contact before and after each patient. Eyeglass frames are all sanitized as well. 

Limited Appointment Scheduling - in order to ensure we are able to properly disinfect and adhere to social distancing guidelines, office hours will be limited to 10 AM-4 PM Monday through Friday. No walk-in or drop-in patients can be accommodated at this time. This includes optical needs – eyeglasses adjustments, repairs, dispensing, and frame selection will be by appointment only. Urgent and emergency patients will be prioritized. Please call to schedule your appointment. 

Fever Free Environment - Temperatures will be taken upon entering the clinic for all patients, staff, and doctors. Anyone whose temperature reads 99.5 degrees or higher will be asked to reschedule and referred to their primary care physician. 

Pre-Screening Questionnaire – Patients will be screened with questions about potential COVID-19 symptoms. Anyone with respiratory/COVID-19 symptoms will be rescheduled. 

Face Covering - We are requiring everyone entering our clinics to wear some type of facial covering such as a homemade mask, scarf, bandana, or handkerchief.   

Wash hands and sanitize - Upon entering the office, everyone will be asked to wash and sanitize their hands.  All staff with direct patient contact will be required to wear a mask. 

Social distancing - We are limiting the number of patients in our office and are asking only the patient with an appointment to enter our facility. Minors may have one parent or guardian present. 

Caregivers/guardians will be required to wear masks, pass the COVID screening, and also have their temperature checked. Additional visitors are asked to wait in their vehicles. Our office doors will remain locked to the public to maintain social distance guidelines. Please call to let us know you have arrived for your appointment.

As always, we are here to help you with any of your eyecare concerns. Feel free to call us at 785-266-5544 with any questions you may have.

Sincerely yours, 

Lora L. Durst, OD and Staff
