Dear Valued Customer,

RE: Covid-19 Update: South Africa Lock Down

The directive and guidance provided by government, advises that only essential services will be allowed to function during the prescribed lockdown period. As such Optometry is not included in the essential services list and as such the profession will halt function as of midnight Thursday.

As primary care providers, it is incumbent that we act responsibly in the interests of greater society and national need. Other colleagues, including Ophthalmology, have issued clear directives that limit patient contact. The staff will be placed on lockdown until the end of the prescribed period and we are geared to resume full function immediately thereafter.

If you are in need of emergency service (this will be on an emergency basis only).

You can contact us via What’s Up at: 067 946 0954
No calls will be taken.

Closure of Longbeach Eye Studio will commence on Thursday 26 March at 17:00.

We will re-open on Friday 17 April at 09:00. (Unless other communication regarding the lock down is received from the SA Government.)

We wish you and your family well during these trying times and trust that we will emerge stronger!

Yours sincerely

Annelize van Niekerk
