Dear patients and friends,

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, our office will only be open at our Fuquay-Varina location from 10:00-2:00 on Monday-Friday. Our Garner office will be closed for now. We will be watching the CDC recommendations closely and will be updating our office hours as things improve. We have been asked by the CDC and the NC State Optometric Board to only see urgent and emergency visits, so we have postponed all routine eye exams for the time being.

If your contact lens prescription is expiring, we are able to extend the expiration date by 6 months and offer free shipping to your house so that you don’t run out of contact lenses. We are also able to mail you your glasses during this time, and we can adjust them once normal hours resume in the future.

We do have a doctor on call for emergencies outside of our truncated hours. We will also attempt to provide telemedicine support via FaceTime/Skype/phone whenever possible.

We are striving to care for our patients’ needs while minimizing the risk of spreading this infectious disease. We hope that you can be patient with us as we work to navigate this ever-changing situation.

Best wishes,
Johnson Optometric Associates

It’s almost 2020! Dr. Martin and Dr. May are back with a campaign update. They detail some of their ideas for their future presidency. They compare their presidential ideas with some common eye-related terms. But not before Dr. Martin pulls a great 2020 joke on Dr. May…. Get excited about Martin May 2020, because “we have a clear vision for America.”

We look forward to having your vote in 2020!!

Time to party with your favorite eye doctors!! Set to the classic tune “Party in the USA”, Dr. May and Dr. Martin experience an eye exam at JOA. The best techs in North Carolina join in the fun, along with the dancing intern, Tan! There’s even a guest appearance by Dr. Bob’s favorite choir! So if you haven’t had an eye exam in a while, come party with us!!

You asked and we answered!!

Here is the fourteenth segment of the “Ask the Docs” Answer Session with Dr. May and Dr. Martin.

We hope you learn something and enjoy!

Questions from this session:

  • Is it safe to look at a sunset or a sunrise without special glasses?
  • What is keratoconus and what are the treatment options for this condition?

We will continue to do these segments, so we will answer all of your questions.

In support of the Carolina Hurricanes great playoff run, the eye docs have caught the hockey fever. We hope you enjoy our video and LETS GO CANES!
