Ontario’s optometrists are calling for updated OHIP funding to unlock immediate healthcare capacity.

On March 30th, at Queen’s Park, OAO members met with provincial decision-makers to reinforce a clear message: without appropriate funding, optometrists remain underutilized—while patients continue to face unnecessary delays and overcrowded emergency rooms.

Modernizing OHIP funding would enable optometrists to manage more eye health conditions in the community, improving access to timely care and reducing pressure on ERs and family physicians.

The opportunity is immediate—and the impact would be felt across the entire healthcare system.
