Coronavirus Information
We are pleased to report we can now see you for eye examinations and eye care services.
​
If you feel your vision has changed and/or you feel your glasses or contact lenses need updating, then we would be delighted to arrange an examination appointment for you.​
Please contact us on 01727866830, email info@stalbanseyecare.com or alternatively book online to arrange a suitable appointment time.
The following measures have been implemented to ensure the practice is safe for you to visit
Social distancing measures
We have always set appointment times that are more than twice the industry average because we found that to provide truly individual service that gets the best results, we needed to invest extra time with every client. We have always preferred to see fewer people in a day in order to be able to do superior work. This is also a more enjoyable way for us to work and it's the reason we have such a good relationship with our clients.
This will obviously continue and we will still maintain an appointment system for all our services to ensure that the number of people in the practice is always manageable, controlled and within social distancing guidelines.
Hand-Sanitising Station
We have a hand sanitising dispenser at reception for you to use when you enter the practice and any other time you may need it during your visit to us.
Face Masks and PPE
While it is not mandatory for you to be wearing a mask, if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask in the practice this is obviously perfectly acceptable and will not interfere with the examination process in any way. If you are concerned and have forgotten to bring your own mask, we will also have some masks available for you.
UVC Sterilising Unit
We have a UVC sterilising unit, which has shown to be effective at killing nasty unwanted viruses. All frames that have been tried on will be sterilised after each use, so you can be sure the frames you try are safe to put on. Advertisements for similar units have advocated their use for mobile phones and underwear as well, although we certainly will not be expecting you to make use of that facility!
​
Video Eyewear Styling Consultations
For those who need new glasses but are unable to attend the practice, perhaps due to shielding or self-isolation, we can arrange a Video Eyewear Styling Consultation, to help clients via video on frame and lens selection and then shipping a selection of frames for you to try on at home, with the guidance of an eyewear expert via video. If you'd like to look at new frames or sunglasses and would be interested in this service, just contact the practice and we will happily contact you to make the necessary arrangements.
