Groovy Glasses is an essential primary healthcare provider, and so continues to offer a comprehensive and equal service to all regardless of vaccination status.
At Groovy Glasses, we’re passionate about keeping our customers and our teams safe. To do this, we need your help, please read below for more info:
If you answer YES to any of the following, please call us on 03 3798 747 before heading to the practice, so we can make any necessary arrangements.
- Do you have a mask exemption?
- If YES, please phone us on 03 3798 747. One of our optometrists will call you to discuss a tailored approach for any necessary treatment.
- Do you, or anyone in your household, have any of the following symptoms?
- Fever
- New cough
- New breathlessness
- Sore throat
- Cold symptoms / runny nose
- Loss of sense of smell
- Are you, or anyone in your household, awaiting a COVID test result?
- Have you had a household contact with a confirmed COVID 19 case in the last 7 days?
When you come instore for eyewear or for any other products:
- Face covering. To keep us all safe, all customers and patients over the age of 6 years will be required to wear a disposable surgical mask. If you don’t have a disposable surgical mask, we will happily provide one for you.
When attending an appointment:
- Face covering. To keep us all safe, all customers and patients over the age of 6 years will be required to wear a disposable surgical mask. If you don’t have a disposable surgical mask, we will happily provide one for you.
- Hand washing or sanitiser. When you enter Groovy Glasses, please use the hand sanitiser provided. This is the most effective way to reduce the transmission of germs, and we appreciate your co-operation.
- Appointments will run on time. We’ll be making sure we run on time for your appointment, and we ask that you do the same. If you are late for your appointment, please understand that we may have to: a) perform a shorter appointment or b) reschedule your appointment. Having staggered appointments running on time reduces cross-over between patients and allows our practitioners time to perform the disinfection protocols between patients.
- Our waiting areas. If you are on-time for your appointment, please come straight in – we will be waiting for you 🙂 If you are early for your appointment, please wait outside or in your car until your appointment time. This reduces the number of patients in our clinical space and helps with social distancing in our waiting areas.
- One support person at your appointment. If required, please bring only one support person to your appointment. Your support person must follow the same guidelines as all of our customers (detailed above) and must not be unwell or require isolation. At this time, children are not able to attend your appointment or wait in the waiting area during your appointment. If the appointment is for a child, a parent or guardian is encouraged to also attend, but we do ask that only one parent or guardian attends; no siblings or friends please.
- Namaste. No offence, but we’re not shaking hands, hugging and refraining from physical contact as much as possible. Instead, we may welcome you with a namaste to share a little peace and calm.
Of course, these measures are in addition to the already stringent hygiene standards we are upholding. We do ask for your help in keeping our community safe. Our clinics regularly care for the elderly, infants and those with complex medical conditions.
We ask you to please take the proper health precautions when visiting us, and to reschedule your appointment if you or a family member is either unwell and/or is awaiting a COVID test result.
We appreciate your support through these difficult times, and we know that we can all get through this together again.
See you soon,
The team @ Groovy Glasses
