Dear Patients and Friends,

Retirement time has arrived. I am no longer scheduling office visits and my office is officially closed.

I am able to continue seeing a select group of former patients and friends, possibly until the end of 2023. Those of you who are elibile
have received a personal communication. You can still reach me at:
doctorlarry@eyecarecontacts.com.

I have turned over my equipment and patient records to my colleague, Dr. Felicia Lew, O.D. You might consider scheduling your next
appointment with her.  (Required disclaimer: Dr. Lew and I have no business relationship going forward.) She will be able to provide you
with quality eye care and some additional important special services which include:

• Treatment of developmental vision-related learning struggles
• Vision rehabilitation for neurological events such as concussion and stroke
• Sports vision enhancement training
• Treatment for "lazy eye" (including strabismus and amblyopia), double vision, dizziness and focusing dysfunction

Please see Dr. Lew’s information below.

Should you need a copy of your records sent to another practice, or just a copy of your prescription (if it is less than two years old) just ask Dr. Lew.
If you need to re-order contact lenses and your prescription is current, Dr. Lew can take care of that for you.

Thank you for trusting me to provide you with my services over the (many) years. It has been a pleasure to know and work with you.

I will miss seeing you.

Best regards, in peace and good health,

Dr. Larry Bickford
