Animal Eye Clinic of Spokane
COVID 19 Protocol
Animal Eye Clinic will continue to require masks to enter the clinic. As a health care provider, we will continue to follow the CDC and health department regulations limiting the number of people in the clinic. Starting June 30th 2021 we will re-open the lobby to a limited number of people. When you arrive in the parking lot please call the front desk to check in and get further instructions. We have a limited number of seats available in the lobby. The receptionist will inform you when we have a space available for you. We ask that you remain in the lobby or separate exam room while we perform the ophthalmic examination on your pet due to the size of our examination rooms. Once the exam is finished the doctor will come review the findings with you in person. As we continue to work through the challenges of Covid-19, a major priority is the safety of our clients, staff and their families, as we continue to try to stay open to care for our furry friends.
Thank you for your continued cooperation, support and understanding.
What to Expect
We strive to make your visit as easy as possible. When arriving to Animal Eye Clinic, bring in the completed New Client Information form and any information your primary veterinarian may have given you. Please arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment to complete paperwork. Please bring your current medications to the appointment. The doctor will want additional details about your pet’s history, so be prepared to discuss overall health and current eye issues.
A licensed veterinary technician will review your pet’s history and current medications and will perform schirmer tear tests to evaluate current tear flow. The technician will also measure the intraocular pressure in the eye prior to the examination. Once the diagnostic tests are completed, the doctor will perform a complete ophthalmic examination that includes slit lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein stains.
Once the exam is completed, the doctor will discuss the exam findings and diagnosis with you and make treatment recommendations. If surgery or further diagnostics are recommended, a detailed estimate will be provided.
Prescription Refills
Due to COVID 19 concerns and reduced operating hours we ask that you call the clinic for prescription refills and we will mail your refills to you. If you reach our voice mail please leave your prescription request on the voice mail. We will return your call and confirm the refill request. If you need to pick up your refill in person please call from your vehicle when you arrive. We will process your payment over the phone and deliver your medication to you in your vehicle. Thank you.
