A Message from Pediatric Ophthalmology, PA

Dear Patients and Parents,

In the last several weeks, concerns over COVID-19 infection have evolved and stabilized to the point that Governor Abbott has permitted the reopening of health care facilities for non-emergent care.  Although medical practices are re-opening for patient care, COVID-19 has not gone away.  Pediatric Ophthalmology PA is committed to maintaining a clean and safe environment for our patients.  We maintain rigorous infection control procedures for our patient care facilities above and beyond our already high standards for cleanliness and disinfection. In addition to the Governor’s executive orders, other government agencies, including the Texas Medical Board have issued guidance and rules we must follow in order to best protect our patients and our staff.  We would like to inform you of the extra precautions we are taking to protect you and your child during your visit:

  • No more than one adult (parent/guardian) may accompany a patient to their appointment.  They will be subject to the same screening for infection risk as the patient.  While these additional protocols are in place, we are no longer able to permit non-patient children in the office.
  • All patients and accompanying adults are asked to complete a screening questionnaire prior to arrival for their appointment. We are rescheduling appointments if the screen reveals a risk of infection.
