## FAQ’s
**How is your office keeping patients safe?**
We are following the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), AAO (American Academy of Ophthalmology), and other regulatory agencies’ guidelines daily for the safest patient protocols.  We have adjusted many things in the office to help provide the cleanest and safest environment for patients and staff.  Some of those include:
* **Due to the increase of Covid cases in our area, we are requiring all patients to wear a mask during their visit.**
* Increased our frequency of medical-grade cleansing of our office furniture and equipment.
* Offering telemedicine appointments for most patients who can’t make it to the office.
* Removed all literature in the office to reduce the spread of any bacteria or virus.
* Our staff will be wearing masks.
**Is it safe to have eye surgery during this pandemic?**
Yes, every eye procedure has risks with or without a pandemic.  These risks are typically very mild.  We have taken the recommendations from the state, local, and government agencies along with medical societies, and our own doctors that are it safe to continue our various eye care procedures.  Eye surgery should not make you more susceptible to acquiring COVID-19.  Of course, we would continue to recommend that our patients follow the CDC guidelines for protecting themselves against COVID-19 after any eye surgery.
**What is COVID-19?**
COVID-19 is a type of coronavirus that is highly contagious and can cause a range of symptoms from no symptoms (asymptomatic), very mild symptoms, to very severe respiratory issues which can lead to hospitalization or even death.  Studies show that severe cases are more common in the elderly, people with compromised immune systems, hypertension, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes mellitus.
**How does COVID-19 affect my eyes?**
Your eyes are mucous membranes, just like your mouth or your nose.  This means that it is possible to receive and transmit various bacteria and viruses through your eyes.  Some studies have shown that patients with COVID-19 may present with conjunctivitis either as an early sign of infection or during hospitalization in severe cases.  The CDC recommends increasing the frequency of handwashing and avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth to help prevent the spread of diseases like COVID-19.
**How do you get COVID-19?**
COVID-19, like many other viruses, can be transmitted through airborne droplets when we sneeze or cough.  It can also live for several hours on inanimate objects such as plastic, doorknobs, and your cell phone.

# Coronavirus and your eyes
## What is coronavirus?
There are many types of viruses called coronaviruses, and some of them can make you sick. The new type we are hearing about now as part of this pandemic is called COVID-19. This virus causes mild to severe lung illness.
People who are exposed to coronavirus may show symptoms anywhere from two to 14 days after exposure. Those symptoms can include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Some people can develop pneumonia and become seriously ill or die from coronavirus complications.
## How can coronavirus affect your eyes?
The first thing to understand is that coronavirus can spread through the eyes — just as it does through the mouth or nose.
When someone who has coronavirus coughs, sneezes, or talks, virus particles can spray from their mouth or nose onto your face. You are likely to breathe these tiny droplets in through your mouth or nose. But the droplets can also enter your body through your eyes. You can also become infected by touching your eyes after touching something that has the virus on it.
It might be possible for coronavirus to cause a pink eye infection (conjunctivitis), but this is extremely rare. If you have pink eye, don’t panic. Simply call your ophthalmologist to let them know and follow their instructions for care. Keep in mind that whether pink eye is caused by a virus or bacteria, it can spread if someone touches that sticky or runny discharge from the eyes, or touches objects contaminated by the discharge.
## Protecting your eye and health – quick tips!
* If you wear contact lenses, try switching to glasses for a while.
* Wearing glasses may add a layer of protection.
* Stock up on eye medicine prescriptions if you can.
* Avoid rubbing your eyes.
## Use common sense to stay healthy.
Wash your hands a lot. Follow good contact lens hygiene. And avoid touching or rubbing your nose, mouth and eyes.
