Comprehensive eye care services in Wilmington, NC. Experienced optometrists.

Drs. Klaus & Stephenson and Staff have been carefully planning how we can create the safest environment and provide the highest level of patient care when we re-open. In order to maximize your safety and minimize your risk of exposure to illness, we will be taking the following precautions:

1. Everyone in the office will be wearing a mask full-time. You will be required to have a mask on to enter the building. Please come with your own mask and wear it upon arrival. We will require that you wear it the entire time you are in the office for the safety of our staff, doctors, and other patients.

2. Hand sanitizer will be available on the porch (as well as throughout the office) and we ask that everyone sanitize their hands BEFORE even opening the door to enter the building. If you are already wearing gloves, we ask that you either sanitize your gloves with hand sanitizer, or we can provide you with another pair of gloves to put over yours.

3. Upon arrival your temperature will be taken with a non-contact forehead thermometer. Anyone showing signs of fever or illness will be asked to reschedule their visit.

4. We will limit the number of patients in the building. If sufficient space is not available to keep safe distancing, we will ask patients to wait in cars/outside. Due to this, we ask that you not bring others with you to your appointment unless you need a guardian, driver, or companion to assist you.

5. Please call ahead to make appointments to pick up your eyeglasses and contact lens orders. Walk-ins may result in you having to wait outside until we can accommodate you.

6. We encourage the use of “Patient Forms” on our website to minimize the length of your visit.

7. Any frames tried on will be disinfected with UV-C light before being returned to the display.

8. As we have always done (prior to COVID-19), each exam room will be cleaned and disinfected between patients.

The world has changed since your last visit with us, but one thing remains constant: our commitment to your health and well-being.
