Livermore Optometry Group has always taken the health of our community seriously.  In addition to our normal safety protocols, weare making more changes due to COVID-19.  We understand that some of these may create inconveniences for all of us, but we need to maintain the safety of everyone who passes through our doors.  Considering this, LOG is currently doing the following:

• Taking patient, staff, and doctor temperatures upon entering
• Keeping our staff split into 2 groups to limit crossover
• Ensuring all patients, staff, and doctors wear masks
• Cleaning of chairs, counters, and other touch points throughout the day along with our normal disinfecting of rooms between each patient
• Closing in the middle of the day for disinfecting whole office
• Thoroughly disinfecting frames after they are touched or tried on
• Escorting patients while in the optical area

To limit the number of people in our office, LOG is:

• Requiring all patient visits (including repairs and adjustments) to have an appointment
• Only 2 doctors working at a time instead of 3
• Reducing doctor schedules
• Reducing the number of staff working at one time
• Reducing number of patients in the office at one time
• Lengthening our open hours M-F and keeping Saturday hours
• Most optical-only patients will be helped outside under a tent while weather permits
• Mailing contacts and glasses to patients
• Increasing tele-health visits
• Encouraging patients to utilize online services
