As many of us are staying home to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in our communities, we want you to know that we are still here to keep yours and your families eyes healthy.
To make these uncertain times a little easier for you, we now have the ability to offer telemedicine video visits. This means that you don’t have to feel left out to dry for your eye concerns during COVID-19 -- there are other options.
A telemedicine visit allows you to see your Roberts Eyecare optometrist in real time using video chat technology, similar to FaceTime or Skype. The best part? You don’t even have to leave the comfort and safety of your house.
We are offering telemedicine video visits for a wide range of eye concerns including:
- Red Eye
- Styes
- Itchy Watery Eyes
- Eye Pain
Any situation can be assessed during a video chat and if necessary, we can schedule you for an in-office appointment if warranted.
We’re here to help you any concerns that you might have regarding your eye health. (While you stay safe at home).
To schedule a video appointment with one of our optometrists, call us at 607-722-2020 in Vestal or at 607-563-7551 in Sidney.
Be well, stay healthy and safe.

Did you order new glasses and think just because of COVID-19 that you can’t pick them up?
Not True
We are offering free curb side pickup of your new glasses from 9-4 M-F during the pandemic. Simply call us when you are outside or come up to the door and ring our door bell. Give your name and one of our New York State licensed opticians will deliver your new glasses to you.
Although we are not able to adjust your glasses at this time, rest assured that your new glasses have been checked for the proper prescription, cleaned, disinfected and bench aligned. In most cases, this is all it takes for your new glasses to fit correctly.
Don’t wait for the stay at home order to be lifted. Simply swing by, give us a call and get your new glasses today.
Stay tuned for more information as it become available.
Many major news outlets have released stories in the past few weeks reporting that contact lens wear increases the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19. As your primary eye care providers we want you to know that there is no current evidence showing that contact lens wearers have higher risk of contracting coronavirus.
- Always wash hands thoroughly before inserting and removing your contact lenses.
- Replace your lenses as prescribed by your eye doctor.
- Always use fresh contact lens cleaning and storage solution (never top off the solution in your contact lens case).
- Discontinue lens wear if feeling unwell, especially if experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms.
