Yes, booking is quick and easy. You can book your appointment online through our website, call us directly during business hours, or come by our location in person to book.

We understand that your schedule is important and offer extended hours on certain weekends and weekdays, as well as weekend appointment options to work around your work, school, and family.

We accept most major private insurance plans through your employer or individual. We also submit OHIP claims directly for all eligible patients. To confirm coverage and insurance ahead of time, simply provide your insurance details to our team - either call, email or provide them upon booking and we will confirm what is covered for your appointment, so there are no surprises. With our direct insurance billing, you won’t have to handle paperwork or wait for reimbursement.

Exam costs vary, and most private eye exams in Ontario cost between $75-$150, depending on the scope of your visit and any needed specialized testing. If you are covered by OHIP, such as those under the age of 20, those 65 and older, or individuals with qualifying medical health conditions such as diabetes or glaucoma, your exam may be fully covered. We’re happy to discuss costs ahead of time and explore payment plans or flexible payment options with you.

Yes, we do! We are a full-family eye care practice. We offer complete eye exams to children, adults and seniors. Our exams for children are friendly and comprehensive, searching for signs of vision problems early, as well as for any other vision issues that may affect learning or development. We also offer child-friendly glasses frames and eyewear, with durable options backed by the no-break guarantee complete with a spare set of frames, so you can rest assured they will withstand childhood.

We understand that continuity for you and your family is important. While we schedule appointments based on availability to shorten wait times, we always try our best to schedule you with your preferred optometrist whenever possible. If you have a preference, simply let us know when booking and we will do our best to accommodate.

We use the latest state-of-the-art diagnostic technology and equipment to provide you with the best care and most accurate diagnostic testing available. Our on-site equipment includes advanced imaging equipment, such as OCT (optical coherence tomography) scanning, allowing us to catch and monitor eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy earlier than ever before. We also have comprehensive visual field testing, binocular vision assessment, and digital refraction so that prescription is perfectly suited to your vision needs.

How often you should book an appointment depends on your age range and eye health. OHIP typically covers those under 20 years of age or those 65 and older with a comprehensive checkup once per year (or every 18-months for those 65 and older). If you have a qualifying medical condition such as diabetes or glaucoma, you may be eligible to book every 6-months. Adult check-ups to 20-64 without an eligible medical condition are recommended annually for preventative care - we’ll send you a reminder, so you don’t have to worry about any missed appointments!

Your safety and comfort are priorities for us and our clinic follows sanitization and hygiene protocols, with all equipment completely cleaned and sterilized after each patient visit. Our waiting and exam rooms are maintained to the highest cleanliness standards. We also ensure our entire office is accessible and inviting for all patients.

An eye exam takes between 30-45 minutes depending on your needs and the type of tests or further diagnostic tests required. During a visit, we will review your personal eye health history, conduct vision tests and check your prescription, complete a thorough eye exam using advanced diagnostic technology, measure your eye pressure to check for glaucoma, and go over recommendations and further treatment, if necessary. You’ll leave with a full understanding of the health of your eyes and vision, with recommendations on maintaining eye health.

We provide experienced senior or geriatric eye care services and diagnostic services to check for age-related conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma with the most advanced diagnostic tools available. If you’re over 65, your eye exams are typically covered by OHIP. We’ll take the extra time to explain our findings to you. We’ll help you truly understand your vision and the health of your eye, answer any questions you may have on findings, and explain any potential treatment options you have. Our office is also fully accessible for all patients, with equipment designed for comfortable use by patients or all ages and mobility.

Some special procedures or tests, such as advanced imaging, visual field testing, or corneal topography may not be covered by OHIP if you’re between the ages of 20-64 (without a qualifying medical condition), though many private insurers do cover these. For any additional specialized vision tests, we always discuss these procedures beforehand, go over what the tests include, and be comprehensive on any coverages you’re eligible for. You’ll never have a surprise expense.

If your prescription is changed after a visit, simply reach out and let us know - you are able to update it without needing to pay for an appointment fee. You’ll only pay for any new lenses or glasses you order. Many customers love our same-day turnaround - you may choose to have your glasses made at our on-site lens or, you may choose to take your prescription elsewhere. You can update a damaged or changed prescription within an hour of an order, if you provide notice ahead of time.

We make every attempt to accommodate your eye issues - sometimes fitting you in for a same-day appointment or next availability - if you have any severe or sudden changes to your vision, pains, or headaches, or other concerning or emergency-type symptoms, please call us directly and always reach out to discuss these potentially serious findings. We take potential vision emergencies seriously and prioritize cases. Never hesitate to contact us directly with an eye care emergency, if you require prompt care with eye emergencies, the sooner we see you, the better.
