Optometrists End Job Action

Will begin taking provincially funded patients today

You can start booking an eye exam if your a senior or a teen. 

Ontario optometrists have agreed to pause their job action that began in September beginning today. 

Optometrists withdrew provincially insured eye services on September 1st in a funding dispute with the province. 

The Ontario Association of Optometrists said in a statement yesterday it has agreed to enter formal negotiations with the Ministry of Health and as a sign of good faith will resume provincially funded eye exams as of today.
