Business as usual at Andrew Keirl Opticians Following the Recent Government Announcement

When England goes into its second period of lockdown on 5th November 2020 optical practices will still be able to operate as “normal” with the expected COVID Secure measures in place.  Please be assured that we will be able to offer our full level of services and there is no need to cancel or reschedule appointments unless you have COVID symptoms.   Although there are no longer any restrictions on the provision of “routine” sight tests, we are still having to operate with a reduced capacity.  This means that we will continue to prioritise care for those patients that are having problems with their vision or spectacles and are following the College of Optometrists Amber Guidelines.   Please be assured that we have taken all possible steps to ensure that we are “COVID Secure”.  

Our hours of opening are Monday to Friday from 9.00 am until 5.00 pm.  We will continue to operate a “locked door” policy and will have to limit the number of patients in the practice at any one time.   Appointments will need to be made for all eyecare activities including the collection of spectacles, repairs and adjustments.  You will be telephoned the day before your appointment to ensure that you are free from COVID-19 symptoms.  Social distancing measures are in place and you will see staff wearing PPE so don’t be alarmed!  A hand sanitiser point has be placed at the main entrance which must be used by all patients and visitors.  We ask that all patients wear a face mask when entering the practice.
