SharpeVision “Safe Offices” protocol:

- We ask all patients with symptoms of or known exposure to Covid-19 within 14 days of your appointment to please reschedule
- We perform complete sterilization of all touched surfaces between each patient in the exam room
- Our team will each be wearing masks and using gloves.
- We have and will continue to always practice and train in sterile and clean techniques as prescribed by the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) and are guided by their roadmap for elective procedures https://www.aorn.org/guidelines/aorn-support/roadmap-for-resuming-elective-surgery-after-covid-19
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have new filters, and are HEPA (High-efficiency particulate absorption) and have multiple zones in each office.

We are tremendously proud of what we do at SharpeVision, and never more so, as we have witnessed the risk of contact lens use during this outbreak. This will likely not be the last time we see such a pandemic, and that fact redoubles our passion to our purpose: to bring clear vision to all-without contacts and glasses. We look forward to seeing you soon.
