In keeping with the current HSA hospital policy, the eye clinic will only be seeing patients requiring urgent attention for acute vision or eye issues, or patients who require ongoing care for serious eye conditions.

Eye clinic operations will include the following procedures:

• Patients
  experiencing acute problems with their eyes or vision, as well as
  patients with ongoing needs for serious eye conditions should attend
  Accident & Emergency to receive care.
  
• For
  less urgent situations, the clinic staff is available for
  consultation with patients by phone at 244-2818 during business
  hours Monday – Friday 9am to 4:30pm.
  
• To
  protect the health of patients and staff, persons with confirmed
  appointments will be required to complete a pre-appointment health
  check to verify their health status including whether they are
  experiencing a cough, fever or other flu-like symptoms or exposure
  to someone confirmed to have COVID-19.
  
• To
  maintain social distancing in the waiting room, patients will only
  be permitted into the clinic if they have an appointment.
  

“We
are working to avoid congestion in our waiting rooms and will be
keeping our patient appointments appropriately spaced, ensuring that
patients who do require more time sensitive care can obtain it within
the constraints of “social distancing” to the extent possible.”
says HSA Consultant Opthamologist Dr. Richard Corkin.
