Ontario’s optometrists are launching an urgent appeal to the Ontario government to end the 30-year neglect in funding for eye care.

This chronic underfunding, coupled with the devastating impact of COVID-19 on optometrists’ ability to see patients, threatens Ontarians’ access to these essential health services.

Please visit https://saveeyecare.ca to learn how you can take action to help save eye care.

Ontario optometrists can now begin seeing patients for non-urgent care provided they follow both the College's Return to Work guidance and requirements from the Ministry of Health.

Review the new requirements here: https://collegeoptom.on.ca/members/professional-practice/covid-19-return-to-work/

By appointment ONLY.

Please call ahead of time.

On Tuesday, May 26, the Ministry of Health lifted restrictions to allow for the gradual restart of some health-care services. This means that optometrists are able to begin to reopen to resume routine eye care.

In order to be able to open to the public, optometry practices must meet all updated safety guidelines put into place by the College of Optometrists of Ontario, which are still evolving with the current COVID-19 situation.

OAO would suggest reaching out to your local optometrist to understand when they will be prepared to see patients, what you can do to prepare for your next appointment, and all the safety precautions that will be in place to protect optometrists, staff and patients.
