(Continuation of letter from Eyes on J on May 4, 2020)

Your patience with us during this process is appreciated. We will have an adjusted schedule to regulate patient flow through the office, but we will do our best to accommodate everyone’s appointment requests as soon as possible.

Although the new public health order allows for routine exams to resume, they are still recommending telehealth as an option where applicable. Of course a routine exam cannot be accomplished from home, but those conditions that can be managed from home will still be accommodated.

We will be sending out more information very soon to inform you of our new office protocols and what you can expect when you visit Eyes on J going forward. We recognize that you have trusted us with your vision over the years and your continued trust is so important to us.

As a reminder, Dr. Swanson is always available for your urgent eye health needs. Please don’t wait until we re-open if you are experiencing eye health issues. Call the office and follow the prompt to reach Dr. Swanson’s cell phone.

With this, we are looking forward to continuing your eyecare as soon as we can do it safely. We will be sending out more emails in the next couple of weeks. Your attention to these notifications is appreciated as they will contain important information regarding the “New Normal” when you visit Eyes on J.

Stay healthy and well.

Warmest regards,
Dr. Swanson and Staff
