Just some helpful hints to get through this pandemic together.

"One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day but if do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress."

COVID-19 Update:

The college of Optometry under the recent directive from Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health has informed us to cancel or reduce elective health care states "until further notice", which supersedes the March 29 date.

These measures are to ensure the safety of everyone.

How to protect yourself:

Coronaviruses are spread mainly from person to person through close contact, for example, in a household, workplace or health care centre.

There is no vaccine available to protect against the 2019 novel coronavirus, but there are actions you can take to help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses.

Everyday actions:

Take these everyday steps to reduce exposure to the virus and protect your health:

wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer
sneeze and cough into your sleeve
avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth
avoid contact with people who are sick
stay home if you are sick

Poster (see below): What you need to know to help you and your family stay healthy

Social distancing

Everyone in Ontario should be practicing social distancing to reduce their exposure to other people.

Everyone in Ontario should do their best to avoid close contact with people outside of their immediate families. Close contact includes being within two (2) meters of another person.

If you believe you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 symptoms, you should begin to self-monitor for a period of 14 days. This means that, in addition to social distancing, you should track how you feel. You should take your temperature daily and log any other symptoms that develop (for example, sore throat, new cough). You can share these records with your primary care provider over the phone if you seek assessment services.

To Our Patients,

The Covid-19 virus is an unprecedented event affecting all aspects of our society. If we are proactive and work together we can overcome any obstacle that we are presented with and come out stronger together. The College of Optometry has Strongly recommended that we close our Clinics until March 30th. We are going to do so as this recommendation is aimed at reducing community spread and supporting government calls for social distancing. The recommendation will be reviewed in 7-10 days, or sooner depending on other developments and/or advice from the federal government.

As a trusted partner in your healthcare we thank you for your support and patience.
