 Garibaldi Eye Care COVID-19 Protocols

You can rest assured that the staff and doctors at Garibaldi Eye Care are committed to providing quality comprehensive eye care in a safe and efficient manner.

Welcome Check in 

When you arrive, you’ll notice staff will be wearing masks and you will be asked to wear one as well. We will be happy to provide you one if needed. You will also be asked to sanitize your hands upon entry.

During check in we will ask you if you are feeling ill, have any COVID-19 symptoms or if you have traveled outside of Canada in the last 2 weeks. If any of these factors exist, you’ll be asked to reschedule your appointment to ensure infection control. We ask that all patients in the clinic adhere to social distancing protocols, and if necessary, we may ask that family members wait outside.

Examinations  

Regularly disinfecting the clinic is always a top priority. Before your appointment, all our pre-test and examination rooms as well as equipment will be sanitized. Your doctor will wash his or her hands frequently for your safety. Your doctor will also maintain your conversation at a distance to ensure physical distancing as an added precaution to your visit.  During the exam, it may be necessary for the doctors to touch your face or eyes. Please let us know if this is an issue and it can be avoided.

Shopping for Glasses 

If you would like to shop for glasses during your visit, you are more than welcome to! You are welcome to try on frames, and we ask that you place them on the desk in the optical in order for our staff to disinfect them. Don’t worry, all frames are disinfected before and after each use.  If you would like to come back another day to shop, please give us a call to schedule a time!

Urgent Care Tele-Optometry Services  

We understand that having an urgent eye issue can be stressful, especially when the COVID-19 situation brings uncertainty to many aspects of your life. This is why we are offering Tele-Optometry services. If you would prefer not to come into the clinic, but are having an issue, please do not hesitate to give us a call! Our staff will find a convenient time for our doctors to call you back, to discuss your concern. They will either give you medical advice by phone or coordinate an in person follow up for a safe examination if required.  

If you have any eye related concerns, please contact us to schedule an appointment or speak with an optometrist today. We look forward to seeing you.
