Staying hygienic and following the recommended safety guidelines by the Ministry of Health are essential to ensure all of us are staying healthy. Here is some information on how to apply safety guidelines when we resume back our business so that patients and staff could feel safe by reducing the risk of getting infections in this Covid-19 crisis.

Psychologically, you can comfort your patients by practicing hygienic workflow such as disinfecting the outlet, checking patients body temperature, recommend using hand sanitizer, control their movements, disinfect the frames, clean the trial frames, clean the slit lamp before and after using it, and consider the distances between each work stations.
We have to assure that patients feel safe and comfortable while they are in the eye care practice. Before re-opening your practices, make sure to schedule a meeting to set a daily workflow with new guidelines and protocols which enhance more on cleaning and sanitizations. Patients are best recommended to book an appointment before drop by at your premises to control the crowd. Make sure everyone wears a mask and sanitize their hand before step in.
Reinforce the protocols with visible signs and posters to ease your patients understanding regarding the current situation. Allow some time to clean the premises before and after each patient left. Increase routine disinfection on frequently touched surfaces such as tables, doorknobs, chairs, frames, switch lights, eye care tools or instruments, and keyboards. Prepare your practice every day by disinfecting the hard surfaces in the morning, midday and evening and as well as if there is an encounter with that surfaces.
You can email your patients or explain to them if they have any doubts about your current operating system during this Covid-19 situation on what they can expect once there are in the shop.
