To all our patients and families,

As of October 14, 2022, The CDC and AOA mandates for requiring masks in all
healthcare facilities has expired. We are continuing to follow current CDC mask
guidance, which states that masks should be worn in healthcare facilities in
counties with a high COVID-19 community transmission level. Currently we are
encouraging, but no longer requiring that patients or staff wear masks.

While it is great that the COVID-19 pandemic is transitioning to endemic and we
are so happy to see our patient’s smiling faces once again, the safety and health
of our patients and our staff continue to be our top priority. We will maintain our
scrupulous disinfection protocols, limit the number of patients in the office at one
time, and ask any patients and staff that are feeling ill to stay at home.

Sincerely,

Your Vision Care Group Family
