Our Mission & Commitment to Our Patients

We’re dedicated to providing personalized eye care that protects your vision at every stage of life, taking time to understand your needs, explain your options, and guide your care.

Our patients can expect:

  • Open, collaborative communication
  • Thoughtful, customized treatment plans
  • Ongoing support for both general and medical eye care needs

Your vision matters—and so does your experience at our clinic.

Eye Exams & Emergency Eye Care

Regular eye exams are essential for protecting your eyesight and detecting issues early. We provide comprehensive eye exams for adults, seniors, and teens, tailored to your visual demands and lifestyle.

We also offer emergency eye care during business hours, Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If you’re experiencing sudden discomfort, blurred vision, or think you might have pink eye, don’t wait.

Payment Options for Your Eye Care

The cost for eye exams for youth 19 and under and adults 65 years of age and older may be covered through OHIP. If you are 20–64 years old and have a specific medical condition affecting your eyes that requires regular monitoring, OHIP may cover yearly examinations and any related follow-up appointments.

We do not presently offer direct billing, but we are happy to provide a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider of choice. We suggest that you review your insurance plan prior to your appointment so you can be aware of what it covers.

For more information, please call our office or email us at info@downtowneyecare.ca

Contact Lens Fitting Fees

Wondering why there is a fee for contact lens assessments and adjustments?

When you’re first being introduced to contact lenses or if you’re looking to change your contact lenses, we believe in taking the time to educate, train, problem-solve, and find the best product for you. Several appointments may be necessary, and in a climate of competitive pricing, we decided to separate the cost of the product from the cost of our time and knowledge.
