    • Eye Care During COVID-19

    Keeping up with vision care is important to maintaining your overall health. See below for ways to do it safely.

    What to expect at your next eye exam

    As providers reopen, you may notice some changes when you arrive for your next eye exam. These include waiting outside for your appointment, having your temperature checked at the door and maintaining physical distancing in the waiting room. In addition, providers will be doing deep cleaning between appointments and wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).

    Spot a Safety Ready doctor

     

    The Aetna VisionSM Preferred plan makes it easy for members to find providers who’ve let us know they’re following stringent safety and cleanliness guidelines. Just visit the Provider Locator page and look for the Safety Ready badge. You can even filter your initial search results by using the Safety Ready toggle. 

     

    To earn the Safety Ready badge, providers must confirm that they have implemented new safety protocols and meet the guidelines issued by the American Optometric Association (AOA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These include:

    Updating sanitation, safety and physical distancing policies, procedures and/or practices, and securing necessary cleaning supplies, face coverings and PPE
