Original Eyewear, Dr. David Braun, Optometrist in Syracuse and Watertown NY

It's been 10 long weeks since we temporarily closed. We have missed you!! We are happy to announce that we are open and scheduling appointments for all exam types. Call us at (315) 214-5858. Safety and distancing measures are in place. Please read the attached for information about our new policies.

2 1/2 weeks and we miss each other! Got the OE gang back together. Making plans for when we can all be together in person again! We have the best team, and are so grateful for all of their support.

As we prepare to re-open our practice, our staff has been diligently sanitizing and prepping for our patients to return. We are very excited to welcome you back, although we realize that not everybody is ready to leave their home. We have decided to allow a majority of our patients the opportunity to re-order their contact lenses without having to be seen, with a few exceptions. We strongly urge you to inquire about a daily disposable version of your lenses to best manage the risk of covid 19. Contacts will be shipped directly to your home. If you would like to take advantage of this, contact our office 315-382-2093. Wishing you the best in health and wellness! Dr Braun and the staff of Original Eyewear
