Hey all, this is a clear explanation of how optometrists got to this point after decades, and have now been left with no choice but to stop seeing all OHIP-eligible patients on September 1st.
This affects anyone under 19, and those 65 and over, and some 20-64 with certain medical conditions.
Please take a moment to read it, and please go to SaveEyeCare. ca to send a letter to your MPP (or write a personal one!), even if you already did one last year. Thank you for your support!
