Vision Health

Optometrists (eye doctors) play an important role in ensuring you and your family maintain healthy vision. Regular eye exams help prevent diseases and disorders affecting the eyes. Finding, and correcting, eye problems early is important to help maintain proper vision.

Comprehensive eye exams are free once every 12 months for children 0-19 years of age who have a valid Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) card.

Contact an eye doctor to book an eye exam for your child. To find a local eye doctor, please visit collegeoptom.on.ca (College of Optometrists of Ontario).
