Update on Florida Retina Institute Mask Policy for Patients and Staff.

Masks will no longer be universally required by Florida Retina Institute patients and staff; however if you (patient) require for our staff and your physician to wear a mask, we will respectfully adhere to your request and put on a mask during your appointment and visit at our location.

Although the wearing of masks may be optional, specific physicians may still have a mask requirement, which may include interactions in our clinical areas.
