How long would you keep driving if this was the case? Sadly, Ontario optometrists have reached a breaking point after decades in this system, with no confidence that the government is willing to work with us. Call your MPP today to urge them to address this issue (Lorne Coe in Whitby!), otherwise you will not be able to access OHIP-covered optometry services after September 1st.

The current system is not sustainable. Ask your MPP to urge the government to make eye care a priority, otherwise seniors and children will not be able to access eye care after Sept 1st

Pushed to the brink, optometrists have voted to withdraw OHIP services starting September 1st, unless the government agrees to legally-binding negotiations to fund these services AT LEAST to the cost of delivery. To protect your access to OHIP-insured eye care, call your MPP and urge him/her to make eye care a priority NOW before it’s too late!
