How Kennedy & Perkins is Handling COVID-19 —
All 6 of Our Stores Are Now Open!

How We’re Serving the Community

Since 1946, Kennedy & Perkins has been the place to go for excellence in eyewear and eye care. Throughout our years of service, we’ve never encountered an event like COVID-19, and as a result, we temporarily closed, but we are now open!

We understand that caring for your eye health is essential when it comes to caring for your overall health. With this in mind, we’re proud to have reopened our doors to the public on May 4th. We’re excited to once again be operating in each of our stores, providing the community with access to dependable eye care, distinctive frames, and high-quality lenses.

All of our locations are open from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Monday through Friday and 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Saturday. Call the location nearest you or schedule an appointment online.

How We’re Keeping You Safe

Just as it’s important to our team to provide an unparalleled experience when shopping for eyewear, it’s equally important that our customers remain safe and healthy when in any of our store locations. With that in mind, we’ve made a few changes in order to best keep you safe.

The following safety protocols will be in place in each of our locations:

  • Every member of our team is required to have their temperature checked and will be outfitted with personal protective equipment, including gloves and masks.
  • We’re spacing out appointment times so that we can properly sanitize our exam rooms before and after each patient.
  • We’re requiring all customers to wear masks and practice proper social distancing to best protect the health of their fellow patients and our staff.
  • Fitting and shopping areas are cleaned regularly and if you try on a pair of frames, they’re thoroughly sanitized before they can be put back on display.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Connecticut COVID 19 logo

We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we implement new safety procedures within our offices. Rest assured that every change we make is made with your health in mind.

When you arrive at Kennedy & Perkins for your eye care or eyewear appointment, we ask that you wear a mask. Our team will take your temperature and ask you a few wellness questions to ensure that you’re healthy. If you’re visiting us for an eye exam, we’ll then escort you back to one of our freshly sanitized exam rooms.

If you’re visiting to shop our extensive collection of eyewear, one of our opticians will assist you as you look for new frames. Our opticians use their expertise to find your perfect frames from our collection. They’ll bring you a small selection of frame options to try on until you find the pair that’s right for you, and as you try different options, we sanitize each frame before and after they’re tried on.

You expect excellence from Kennedy & Perkins, and that’s what you’ll get — even during these unpredictable, turbulent times. We’re ready to care for your eyewear needs. Call the nearest location or schedule an appointment online to care for your eyes and find your next pair of glasses.
