Optometrists and ophthalmologists are essential . The prescribed eye glasses are essential. Please amend your guidance accordingly.
Measuring pupils on a child or adult requires skills that at home parent teachers do not have. Zenni isn’t shipping. Vision Works is not answering phones nor email. Costco will not fill new prescriptions. |

The people in their administrations are here. So are journalists and the rest of the fed. |

Oh, dear. No. This isn’t actually taking action. Posting here is essentially screaming into the void. Email or call them directly. |

| I just had an appointment at Lens Crafters yesterday. I made my appointment online without any issues. |

Yup. they closed for two weeks and were available for emergencies only. Then they reopened last week with limited services. |

NP. Ours is open too though they're pushing online services. They ask that people come in only for urgent needs (not regular checkups etc.). For clients who break or lose glasses, if the doc already has a recent prescription, they'll make the glasses with the same style frames and deliver them to your home if you want. The glasses frames won't get fitted by the optician but that would be OK with me if it meant I could get replacement glasses without having to go to the office. And they'd do any needed fitting later for free. OP, if it's urgent, call around. Prices won't be Costco-cheap. But there are optometrists at work right now. |
