To our valued patients - as many of you know, we have been open for emergency care during the Stay at Home order due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. I am happy to announce that we are able to open to non-emergent care on May 1, 2020. However, we have made the following modifications to our service to help keep you and our staff safe until a vaccine and better treatments are found.

1. We have reduced patient appointments to every 45 minutes from every 20 minutes - that means we are seeing less than 50% of our normal workload to allow for proper social distancing. No more than 3 patients are allowed in the office at a time.
2. All patients will be temperature screened and required to wear a mask while at our offices.
3. Only the patient is permitted to come into our office for the appointment - the exception is for minors and 1 parent/guardian is permitted. They are also required to have a mask and will be COVID screened to and documented in case contact tracing by the health department is needed.
4. Enhanced disinfection policies are in place after every patient.
5. Curbside dispensing of glasses and contact lenses, as well as repairs on glasses will continue until further notice.
6. If you are not getting glasses the same day as your appointment - you will need to set an appointment with our optical department to do so.

Please visit our FaceBook page for further updates. We appreciate your continued support during this time and look forward to seeing you all again.

Since we will be seeing less than 50% of our normal workload, patient appointments will book up quickly, if you are overdue for your exam - call to schedule as soon as possible.

If you or a member of your household is experiencing shortness of breath, coughing, fever, loss of taste or smell, you need to contact your P*P immediately and reschedule your appointment

Stay safe and stay healthy!

COVID-19 UPDATE for Galloway Eye Care Professionals and The EyeSite of Dublin

From: Jennifer Mattson, OD

Late in the evening on March 17, 2020, the CDC made the recommendation that all “routine eye care be postponed” until the threat from COVID-19 passes in our community.

What does this mean?
Beginning immediately, all appointments for routine annual exams will be postponed until after April 6, 2020 or such time that the Ohio Department of Health has been satisfied that risk to Central Ohioans has been successfully neutralized. Dr. Mattson has been tuned in to all press conferences and is in touch with other healthcare providers on a daily basis to monitor the situation.

Definition of “routine care”:
If you desire an exam just to update your glasses prescription or contact lenses, that is routine care. Please keep in mind that most glasses prescriptions are good for 2 years. If you need to get new glasses and you have a valid prescription, you may order them from that Rx, an appointment is not needed. Contact lens prescriptions are good for 1 year. If you are a patient of ours and you need a spare pair of lenses to see you through this time, we will likely be able to accommodate you.

Can I still purchase glasses and contact lenses?
Yes - if your prescription is valid. If your prescription is expired, Dr. Mattson will review on a case by case basis. If you prefer to have your glasses shipped to your home, we can do so for $8.

What is NOT routine care?
Loss of vision, eye pain, red eyes, flashes of light, floaters, loss of part or all of your vision in one or both eyes, getting something in your eye, double vision, an eye turn, or referral by another medical professional for an eye exam - these are medical problems that need immediate attention and we will see you.
If you are undergoing vision therapy services or treatment of eye diseases like glaucoma, dry eye, or being monitored for diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration, or in post-operative care for cataract or refractive surgery - these are all medical services we are still providing.

Can’t I just go to the ER if I have an eye problem?
We should be letting the ER handle patients with more serious problems and potential COVID-19 symptoms and exposure. You will be exposed to far fewer people here and your visit will take much less time here than at the ER.

For patients that still have or need urgent care appointments -
We have increased the time between patients so there is very little or no overlap between appointments. We are still limiting entrance to our office to patients and caregivers necessary to the appointment only. For children, only the child with the appointment and one parent is permitted. All visitors and employees are having their temperature screened when they enter the building and are required to sanitize their hands. Patients or visitors with a temperature of over 100.0F will be turned away at the door.

Telemedicine services are available.
If you have a problem with your eyes and are ill, caring for someone who is ill, or has been exposed to someone who is ill, please call the office and we can set up a telemedicine appointment with Dr. Mattson or Dr. Higbea. If we cannot solve your problem on the phone, we will give you a time to come in when there is limited exposure to other patients and staff. We will also likely have you come in through an alternate entrance if needed.

Curbside glasses and CL pick up is available.
If you need to pick up your glasses and/or contact lenses, please call or text 380-203-6313 when you arrive and we will bring your order out to you. We can also do glasses adjustments and most repairs curbside.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE A SMALL BUSINESS. WE ARE NOT OWNED OR SUPPORTED BY THE STATE OF OHIO OR ANY HOSPITAL. WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT THROUGH THIS CRISIS SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO CARE FOR OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AFTER THIS THREAT HAS PASSED.

This is a fluid situation and I am evaluating it every day. Please watch for updates on our Facebook and Instagram pages as well as our website.

We believe these precautions are necessary in order for us to remain open to serve our patients. The bottom line for this time period is IF YOU ARE SICK OR IF YOU LIVE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS SICK, OR YOU ARE CARING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS SICK - YOU NEED TO STAY HOME. Even if you feel fine, you could be a vector for carrying the virus to someone with a weakened immune system or who is in a high risk group. We appreciate your loyalty and patience as this situation evolves.

Stay Healthy!

New COVID19 Guidelines for Galloway Eye Care Profs, and The EyeSite of Dublin

From: Jennifer Mattson, OD

Now is a critical time in the spread of COVID-19 in Central Ohio and the actions we all take in the next week or two will greatly impact our friends, family, and neighbors, and how well Central Ohio comes through this pandemic. In addition to caring for our patients, the #1 priority for our doctors (and staff) is remaining open to serve you, but also remaining healthy. For that reason the following policies are implemented immediately.

1. All patients/visitors entering the building will be required to have their temperature taken BEFORE ENTERING THE OFFICE. If any one in your party has fever of 100.0 F or higher, you will not be admitted to the office - you will be turned away at the door.
2. After temperature screening, all guests must sanitize their hands - no exceptions.
3. Any patient who has traveled outside the US in the last 30 days will be asked to schedule their appointments 2 weeks out to allow for their “self-quarantine” period to be completed.
4. Any patient 18 years or older will not be allowed to have non-patient companions with them. Any patient younger than 18 may have 1 parent or guardian accompany them to the exam. Any extra family members will be asked to wait in their vehicle. This is to limit the people in our building to patients and staff as much as possible.
5. Curbside pick up will be available for glasses and contact lenses. Minor repairs can also be made curbside.
6. The number of chairs in our waiting area has been reduced and spread out to allow for proper “social distancing”.
7. Previous sanitation guidelines will be followed as outlined on March 11, 2020.
8. Patients in high risk groups will be encouraged to postpone any routine care visits until the end of April.

We believe these precautions are necessary in order for us to remain open to serve our patients. The bottom line for this time period is IF YOU ARE SICK OR IF YOU LIVE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS SICK, OR YOU ARE CARING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS SICK - YOU NEED TO STAY HOME. Even if you feel fine, you could be a vector for carrying the virus to someone with a weakened immune system or who is in a high risk group. We appreciate your loyalty and patience as this situation evolves

New Sanitation Guidelines for Galloway Eye Care Profs, and The EyeSite of Dublin

From: Jennifer Mattson, OD

In response to the arrival of COVID-19 to the central Ohio area, it is important for us to do our part to prevent spread in the community. We will enact the following immediately to our already stringent disinfection guidelines.

1. All patients and visitors will be asked to sanitize their hands (liquid hand sanitizer, or wipes are available) when entering the office FOR ANY REASON. This includes quick visits of pick ups for glasses and contact lenses or to take care of other non-exam related business.
2. The childrens' play area is closed until further notice.
3. All pens are now “single use”. Pens after use by patients will be put into a tray for sterilization at the end of the day.
4. Any patients or visitors showing signs of illness will have their temperature taken. If they are showing a fever (100.4 F) they and their entire party will be asked to reschedule and leave immediately. DO NOT COME TO OUR OFFICE IF YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL.
5. In addition to our normal procedures of wiping down all instruments and materials between patients, all patient care areas will be thoroughly disinfected during the lunch break each day in addition to the end of day. This includes spraying all door handles and surfaces with Lysol.

If you have any questions about these guidelines, please see a staff member or Dr. Mattson. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our staff and you well during this time.
