Retina Health Institute is committed to the health and safety of our patients during this uncertain time. We are actively contacting patients that do not need to be seen over the next few months to reschedule their appointments. If you do not receive a call to reschedule your appointment, the physicians have deemed your visit and treatment essential and you should keep any scheduled appointments to avoid vision loss. Below is a list of center updates to help patients prepare for their appointments. 

​

• All patients and staff must be screened for COVID19 symptoms and exposure prior to entering the office. If you are experiencing any symptoms of a respiratory tract illness or pink eye, please reschedule your appointment.
