Telemedicine Hybrid Care

RSN is pleased to offer Telemedicine Hybrid Care to accommodate those at low risk for vision debilitating ocular disease and want to minimize public exposure during the COVID-19 pandemic.

These visits will involve rapid transition through the office for noninvasive diagnostic imaging and a scheduled Telehealth visit to review findings and management. The encounter will be less than 25 minutes door to door appointments and interaction with two staff members in the absence of any other patients.

This blend of video, phone and undilated imaging is not appropriate for all patients but can be discussed with Dr. Myers-Powell to optimize safety, care and comfort.

COVID 19 PRECAUTIONS

As of Dec 28, 2020, RSN has implemented additional COVID Precautions due to the winter surge and new more contagious variants.

These include enhanced Telehealth, reduced number of in-person visits, extended visit intervals, enhanced sterilization and air purification protocols.

These unnoticed safety updates will remain in effect until the public health risk is sufficiently reduced.

If you are or have been ill with fever, cold or flu-like symptoms, dry cough, or traveled out-of-state within the past 2 weeks, please post-pone your appointment and proceed with COVID-19 testing.

Dr. Myers-Powell and the RSN staff are committed to saving vision while protecting the community; we encourage everyone to join us in taking simple measures to ensure a healthy new year.

Thank you for your cooperation and do not hesitate to contact our office for clarification.
