1. Out staff has access to PPE including face shield, masks, gloves, and disinfecting solutions. We do have extra masks for patients that do not have their own.
2. Only one patient is allowed in the clinic at once. (patients who need to be accompanied are accommodated as needed)
3. Social distance of at least 2 meters in maintained between staff and patients when possible.
4. Our pre-test room, exam and show room are being constantly sterilized at opening, during working hours and end of the day.
5. Our staff is monitoring and following the procedures to disinfect all common areas and surfaces before and after each patient.
6. All common and shared articles have been eliminated and suspended until further notice, i.e. brochures, magazines, toys and colouring books.
7. All products that have been used or came in contact with patients are being sterilized before being put on display again, including our frames in the show room and other products.
