As optometrists, we care about our patients and their vision. A visit to the optometrist not only includes eye health check and prescriptions, but we hear stories of families, love, triumphs and loss at every visit. We do our job because we love it! We want to be able to keep doing what we love to do! Please read the article then visit www.saveeyecare.ca to have your say! ... https://www.newswire.ca//ontario-faces-crisis-as-millions-

Hope everyone is keeping well! Even tho we are still unable to be in the office seeing everyone (other than for urgent care)...we miss all of our patients and seeing those friendly faces every day! Remember that if you have an urgent issue, messages are being checked and returned as soon as we can! ... Also, if any of our patients are in need of re-ordering contact lenses, call the office and let us know! We will gladly order and ship straight to your home (no extra cost for shipping!)! Take care! Stay safe! See everyone soon!

And....we are back!! As of today, June 8, 2020, we are back to a new (slightly reduced) schedule! There are still a few rules that we need to adhere to, so please be patient!... 1) we are only seeing patients by appointment. That includes exams, adjustment, repairs, pickups and drops offs. 2) all patients entering the office must wear a mask. Our staff will be wearing masks as well, so it is for everyone's safety! If you come without a mask, your appointment may be rescheduled. 3) all patients are asked to come by themselves to their appointment. Exception to this is 1 parent/guardian per child 4) please be punctual for your appointment. We are working on a stricter schedule to allow for time with each patient and cleaning of office/equipment between patients. If you come late, we possibly will reschedule your appointment. 5) when you come for your appointment, knock or call the office to let us know you are here. We will let you in when it is your appointment time. Please be patient as we work through this new normal! We are still rescheduling patients whose appointments were cancelled due to covid-19 lockdown. Also, we are still triaging on the phone, so please call or email with any concerns.

June 8, 2020 we will be back in the office starting to see patients again. We will still be answering messages and emails this week and after we open!

All patients have been contacted to reschedule appointments that were scheduled during that time. We are available for ocular emergencies (flashes, floaters, sudden loss of vision) by calling the office. We are checking voicemail multiple times each day. Contact ...us with non-urgent questions or concerns via email [email protected] Patients that are waiting to pick up glasses from the dispensary will be contacted with a time to do so. Thank you for your co-operation and understanding. Stay healthy, stay safe, and be kind! We hope to see everyone again soon!
