About eight months have passed since the C OVI D-19 outbreak first struck the U.S. And during that time, the world has had to learn how to live with a virus that has infected millions.

According to a survey by the AOA Health Policy Institute, 80% of doctors of optometry provided emergent and urgent care services to patients during the pandemic while 11% did not provide patient care at all. More than two-thirds of doctors saw less than 5% of their typical pre-pandemic patient volume and three out of four doctors had personally taken a reduction in income to protect the practice during the pandemic.

It’s been a bumpy road, but some of the lessons learned have changed optometry practices forever.

“The eyes are vulnerable and merit our protection and care. They can be a point of entry or they can manifest the infectious or inflammatory effects of the disease,” says Lynn Greenspan, O.D., who practices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. “But now, as we reemerge from our seclusion, while the masks protect and hide our faces, it is the eyes that endure and peek out visibly to others. Socially, we have become strangers except for our eyes. There has never been a better time to share that true smile—the one so big that it reaches the eyes.”
