To our patients and our community, there continues to be uncertainty with respect to the current public health threat. Until and unless circumstances change, we want you to know that we are here to take care of your eyes and vision. Our hours will not change. We will continue to be respectful of your time and will not overbook our schedule.

In accordance with AOA, AAO, and CDC recommendations, we will broaden our disinfection procedures for items such as door handles and surfaces throughout the office. AOA.org and AAO.org if you are so inclined.

If you are ill in a way that doesn’t involve your eyes, we ask that you kindly reschedule your appointment to reduce the risk of exposure. We will do the same.

I (Dr. Newton) took an oath of practice 20 years ago, and the first tenet of that oath was “…that the health of my patient will be my first consideration.” That hasn’t changed, nor will it.

Best wishes to all for continued physical and mental/emotional health and well-being!

— Dr. Lee Newton and The Newton Eyecare Team
