Our hearts go out to all of those affected by the Carr Fire here in Northern California. Our office remains open and we are available to help with all of your eye care needs. Please do not hesitate to call if you are in need of artificial tears to help relieve your eyes of the smoke, contact lens trials to get you by until you are able to order more, contact lens solutions or cases, and eyeglass repairs or adjustments at no charge. Dr. Gussenhoven is also providing free refractions (to get an eyeglass prescription) by appointment only. Call the office at 530-222-7290 to make an appointment.
If you have lost or damaged your eyeglasses due to the fires, there are resources to help you. If you have vision insurance coverage, you can reach out to your insurance provider and they will issue an authorization for a replacement pair. If you do not have vision insurance, meet with the American Red Cross to receive a gift certificate.
Non-VSP Members can call 800.RED.CROSS (800.733.2767) or contact a local Red Cross chapter to request a VSP Global Eyes of Hope gift certificate.
