Our Eye Care Practice

Yes, we do! We direct bill to most major insurance plans. Be sure to bring your insurance card with you so that we can set up direct billing for your eye exam. Currently, we are only able to direct bill comprehensive eye exams on your behalf.

Patients will need to submit claims manually for all other eye care services (such as contact lens fittings, dry eye assessments, and purchased products).

First of all, bring any and all questions you have about your eye health! Also, bring your OHIP card and insurance plan card if you would like us to direct bill your exam. If you can, please also bring your current glasses and contact lens box/labels to your appointment.

This will give us a starting point—it’s important to know where we’ve been in order to get where we’d like to go!

A comprehensive eye exam for adults not covered under OHIP is $140. The charge for a retinal photo is $25 (this is included in the eye exam fee). Contact lens fittings start at $60 if you have worn contact lenses before and $120 if this is your first time (we’ll spend additional time showing you how to insert, remove, and clean your contacts).

The fee for a dry eye assessment is $180 and includes a customized complimentary kit of at-home therapies.

The fee for a preventative health exam is $230 it includes OCT and screening visual field.

Absolutely! New and existing patients can book same-day appointments on Monday through Saturday (subject to availability).

OHIP covers children 19 years and younger every 12 months. Adults 20-64 are covered every 12 months IF they have an eligible medical condition. Seniors 65 years and older are covered every 18 months, unless they have an eligible medical condition (then they are covered every 12 months). If you are unsure if you qualify for OHIP coverage, give us a call!

The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends yearly eye exams for children and seniors and those with diabetes. Adults should have their eyes checked every 2 years, however, if you have certain systemic conditions or take specific medications, we may also recommend yearly eye exams.

If you have a vision or eye-related issue, your optometrist should be your first stop! We can treat vision problems like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (trouble focusing on near objects), and astigmatism (unequal focus).

We can also diagnose and manage ocular conditions such as dry eye, eye and eyelid infections, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration—the list goes on. Check out our blog for more info!

The best way to know for sure is to bring them in for an eye exam. If your child squints often, is sensitive to light or is having trouble with reading, these may be indicators that they need glasses. Other things to look out for include eye turns, excessive eye rubbing, and trouble with hand-eye coordination or colour perception.
