In recent days, Americans engaged in peaceful protests have been blinded by rubber bullets and other projectiles fired at the face. While classified as non-lethal, they are not non-blinding. Join me in condemning the use of rubber bullets to disperse crowds of protesters. Using your voice shouldn’t mean losing your vision. #NotOneMoreEye #NoRubberBullets #ThisIsOurLane

At Retina Orange County, we take the threat of COVID-19 extremely seriously. In our specialty, our patients are often the group most vulnerable to COVID-19.
To that end, we are committed to providing a safe, clean and comfortable environment for all of our patients. Fortunately, many of the procedures required to keep the practice safe for all it’s staff and patients are things that we have been committed to since the beginning of our practice.
- minimal wait times
- digital or online check in
- contactless and online payment options
- sterilizing all patient contacting equipment
- screening for symptoms of COVID-19
- temperature checks
- limiting non-patient visitors to essential companions only
We are now open with these enhanced procedures for all patients, new or old, routine, urgent or emergency. We still encourage any patients that are experiencing any active respiratory symptoms to avoid entering the office, and for at-risk patients to avoid coming for routine “checkup” appointments. However, if you are having vision changes, or other issues that require treatment, do not hesitate to make an appointment, confident in our ability to protect our most at risk and vulnerable patients from infection to the best of our ability.
Stay safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Retina Orange County, Inc.
