The Eye Institute has made the decision to permanently close our East Falls site, which has been closed since March due to the pandemic. We hope you will continue to choose The Eye Institute for your future eye care needs at either our East Oak Lane or Chestnut Hill sites. If you choose to do so, your continued care will be seamless, including access to your medical history and, in many cases, the same doctor. To make an appointment, please use the same number you have always... used 215.276.6000. For more information, please visit www.SalusUhealth.com/TEI. If you would prefer to transition your eye care to a provider outside the Salus University Health system, please call us at 215.276.6000 and follow the prompts to the Medical Records section (select 4 and 2) to have your records transferred. Once again, as a valued patient, we thank you for choosing The Eye Institute for your eye care needs and hope to see you soon at our East Oak Lane or Chestnut Hill clinical facilities.

"I was very impressed by the care and professionalism of everyone that I dealt with, beginning with the man at the door who checked my temperature, the cheerful receptionist and the careful exam...it’s the best eye care facility that I have dealt with." #salusuhealth #2020eyeexam #yearoftheoptometrist
