We are all in danger of spending too much time on our phones, tablets and computers; please remember the 20:20:20 rule. Every 20 minutes look up 20 feet away if you can, for 20 seconds. During the 20 seconds give some good blinks. Your eyes and head will thank you.
Obviously we can’t examine your eyes just now (and we do miss you all), but if you need helps ring us on 01382 224620 and leave a message and we’ll get back to you. Meanwhile eat well, and try and get out-of-doors for some exercise (protecting your eyes from UV light) to keep your eyes healthy.
The premises may be closed, but Lindsay and Johnson Opticians are still very much alive and we are taking this time to do further study and to prepare for the future. Meanwhile take care and stay safe,
Whilst our premises are closed, the business of Lindsay and Johnson is still very much alive. Follow our Facebook and Google my Business pages and the website for our latest articles/news. If you have a query leave a message on 01382 224620 or submit an email and we will reply as soon as possible. You can also join my Facebook group “Ask a Dundee Optician”. For emergency eyecare contact Ian Jarvis Opticians on 01382 462236.
Meantime keep safe and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
I am afraid that in these very strange times we have had to temporarily close. In the case of an emergency eye problem, please contact Ian Jarvis Opticians on 01382 462236.
After the Prime Minister’s statement last night we are now closed. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.
We did try to sort out contact lenses for patients, but I am afraid the companies, probably for logistic reasons of their own, haven’t been able to help us. We will be following official guidance very carefully and hope to be back to normal very soon.
We thank you all for your patience and support.
I am sorry to say that we are having to temporarily close the practice at the end of the week. This was a decision I haven’t taken lightly and I thank all my patients for their continued support. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.
CONTACT LENSES and CORONA VIRUS
The official advice is that it is perfectly safe to continue wearing contact lenses (unless you have flu-like symptoms, in which case you should wait for one clear day after symptoms, to resume wear). The most important thing is to wash your hands very thoroughly with soap and water before handling the lenses.
In these difficult times I wanted to reassure you that, as always, our patients’ and staff’s health and safety is my number one priority. As a small business owner I am also asking for your help and support. We have introduced special measures to protect my patients and staff-
-spacing patients out to allow cleaning and sanitizing all equipment and surfaces between patients
-an extended cleaning and sanatizing routine
-cleaning each frame before a client tries it on during dispensing
-washing hands thoroughly before and after seeing each patient
-with our buzzer system controlling the entry of people to the practice, only allowing in those who are fit and well
Along with our private dispensing room and our spacious waiting area, these measures mean you can visit us with confidence.
Please do not delay your appointment without good reason; this allows us to take care of your eyesight and makes sure that we are still here when you need us. As we are part of a healthcare profession the official advice we have been given is that with the care we are taking we do not count as discouraged social contact.
Please continue to support us.
We are very pleased to be introducing these new Zeiss multifocal lenses, which allow clear vision at all distances, including looking at your phone or ipad. They really are revolutionary. Ring 01382 224620 to book a no-obligation appointment to learn more about them.
Today is World Book Day. Children don’t always realise that their vision is not as good as that of their friends and they assume that they’re just not very good at reading. You want the very best for your children so ring 01382 224620 and book an appointment for an eye examination. We have a dedicated children’s corner (with books as well as toys) and we make the eye examinations fun.
