Please call your pharmacy if you need medication refills. Your pharmacy will contact us to allow refills.
Injections
If you are receiving intravitreal therapy, or eye injections, for an eye condition such as macular degeneration or diabetes, we consider your visit necessary and encourage you to keep your appointment. Failure to receive treatment may cause vision loss. We are taking additional precautions to ensure your safety during your visit. We outline these protocols below.
