Vision is not just visual acuity (seeing something clearly)! Vision is being able to notice things in our environment, and accurately judge whether it's in our path, so that we can avoid tripping on it. It's being able to use our visual information to calculate how far away the cup is, in order to grab it. It's about seeing a door handle, and assessing which way it's oriented, so that we know how to turn our hands to align with it. Good vision also requires us to be able to l...ook where we're going, but still notice that low overhanging tree branch in our peripheral vision to know how much we have to duck to avoid hitting our head. These are learned skills. These are the components of vision that are often impacted after a concussion, even when a person can still see 20/20 clearly. This man would really benefit from neuro rehabilitation! (in addition to therapy for his psychological turbulence and concerns in social settings). https://beta.ctvnews.ca/national//2021/1/14/1_5266611.html

It breaks our hearts to turn people away. We did not take this decision lightly, but it has been decades of neglect. We have tried to take it straight to those in power but successive governments have refused to work with us in good faith. We are still doing our best to triage less urgent concerns to GPs and only sending real potential emergencies to the ER. Help urge the government to acknowledge this issue by entering your name, email, and riding at http:///www.saveeyecar...e.ca to send a letter to your MPP http://www.zoomerradio.ca//oao-funding-dispute-with-prov/

Our operating costs have skyrocketed, but our reimbursements to see patients has not, so we’re in a scenario where optometrists are paying more than half of the cost to deliver services to patients, he said. It’s just not sustainable, and what we’re really concerned about is our practices not being viable in the longer term. https://www.theglobeandmail.com//article-ontarios-optomet/

Franzmann explained that OHIP covers eye examinations for Ontarians who are under 20, 65-plus, who have health conditions like diabetes and glaucoma, and who are on some forms of social assistance. However, the provincial insurance only reimburses optometrists for about half of the actual cost of the service. Franzmann pointed out that over the last 30 years the OHIP rate has only increased by 8 percent while during that same time, inflation has increased by 75 percent. https://madvalleycurrent.com//porch-views-corrective-len/
