FRUSTRATED WITH DRY EYES?

IPL (Intense Pulse Light) Treatment is offered
at our office to help stimulate and rejuvenate
the oil glands around the eye and tighten the eyelids to
help distribute tears. Another great side effect of the IPL is it may
tighten the skin around the eyes!

Call our office (618-233-3040) to schedule dry eye
evaluation for January 15th to see if you are a
candidate for IPL!
(Appointments are available from 9am to Noon)

If you have an appointment next week, you will be contacted by the staff to discuss options.

Dear PATIENTS,

We hope this message finds you and yours healthy as the COVID-19 coronavirus impacts our community. Please note that our office will have limited hours going forward. Our weekly schedule will be:

(As of 03/23/2020 and may be subject to change):

Mon. 9am - 12pm
Tue. 1pm - 4pm
Wed. 9am - 12pm
Thu. 9am - 12pm
Fri. 9am - 12pm
Sat. CLOSED
Sun. CLOSED

We will reach out to any patients that have appointments. Governor Pritzker directed health care providers to only provide ESSENTIAL CARE. This term of essential care has not been defined. Certainly painful or infected eyes, recent post-operative care, recently altered glaucoma treatment and certain other treatments will need to be monitored. Patients that have a strong spectacle or contact lens prescription and for whatever reason are without their prescriptions, may be essential.

IMPORTANT: If you are infected with COVID-19, exposed to someone with COVID-19 or think you may have been infected, please contact us before coming in. This way we can instruct you on where to go and how to proceed for the safety of all.

Contact us with any questions. We are here to help you.
