Our Clinic is Now Open at Reduced Hours.
Our Clinic is Now Open at Reduced Hours.
EyeWorld Optometry clinic is now seeing patients at reduced hours and volumes. Your safety is our priority. We have implemented guidelines and measures to reduce risk and maintain a safe environment. Please note that our office door remains locked during office hours and all visits are by APPOINTMENT ONLY.
The health of you and your family is our top priority, which is why we have implemented a new examination process with enhanced safety procedures. You can trust us to provide you with comprehensive eye care and peace of mind in a safe clinic environment. Doctors and staff will now wear face masks and other personal protective equipment, in addition to adopting rigorous disinfection procedures. All our processes go above the standards set by local health authorities and depend on minimizing the time patients spend in our clinics. All our staff have been thoroughly trained and are intent on providing the safest and best of patient care.
*** We are doing our best to serve as many patients as possible, in a way that is safe for patients and staff. We want to keep our doors open, but the pandemic, combined with a chronic lack of funding for eye care by the government, has had a devastating impact on our practice. Since we can only safely see a small number of patients everyday, we have to give priority to patients who need comprehensive eye exams and who opt for safer, lower-contact diagnostic procedures.
You can help save eye care in Ontario by visiting www.saveeyecare.ca and signing your name - a website that is calling on the Ontario government to better fund eye care!
Pre-appointment call
Pre-appointment call
- Please call ahead to book your appointment to help us monitor the number of people in our clinics.
- Leading up to your appointment we will try to conduct a pre-appointment call by phone to review your case history.
- The staff member on the call is trained in privacy and the information collected will only be shared with your doctor in your official patient file. This is the same type of information you would fill in on forms at your family physician or dentist’s office.
