Dear Patient, We at Doctors Eyecare Merritt/Princeton are monitoring the COVID-19 situation closely and want to assure you our priority is the health and safety of our patients and staff. We are following advice provided by the Canadian and provincial health officials to ensure our clinic has taken extra precautionary measures to reduce the risk of transmission. Studies of current cases indicate that the severity of the virus is relatively mild for the majority of the populat...ion (similar to symptoms of a cold), however, there is higher risk to the elderly and individuals with pre-existing medical conditions. Your eye health is important to us and we are available to support your vision needs. We are still gladly accepting bookings, but we are not actively recalling patients at this time. For the safety of our community, if you are experiencing any symptoms such as a fever, cough, difficulty breathing, or have travelled or been in contact with individuals who have travelled outside of Canada, we encourage you to contact us to reschedule your appointment. Our clinic will remain open to serve you but any changes to our hours will be updated on our Facebook page and answering machine. As the situation continues to evolve, we are closely monitoring and adjusting our procedures to ensure we follow the latest health guidelines. Should you have any questions please email us at [email protected]. Sincerely, Dr. Carrie-Lynn Snee, Dr. Jill Richardson and Dr. Petar Prpic
