Because they have spy-tacular vision! 🔍😎
Their missions may be top secret, but regular eye exams shouldn’t be. 😉

Cataracts and OHIP coverage: what is covered, what isn’t, and what fees should you expect?
This is one of the most common questions we get — and the honest answer is that it can be quite complicated.
In Ontario, standard cataract surgery is generally covered by OHIP. However, there may be optional testing, lens upgrades, or refractive options that are not covered by OHIP and may involve additional fees.
These options can include things like advanced measurements, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses, or extended depth of focus lenses. The right choice depends on your eyes, your prescription, your visual goals, your budget, and your surgeon’s recommendations.
We have updated the Specialty Care section of our website with much more detailed information to help patients better understand their options before seeing the surgeon.
At the end of the day, a patient’s choice is their own. Our goal is simply to help you understand the options clearly so you can make an informed decision that feels right for you.

👁️ Navigating AMD: What You Need to Know 👁️
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss in older adults, but there is more hope than ever before for protecting and preserving vision.
There are two main types of AMD:
🔹 Dry AMD – The most common form. It develops gradually as waste products called drusen accumulate beneath the retina, affecting the macula (the part of the eye responsible for sharp central vision).
🔹 Wet AMD – Less common, but often more serious. Abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the retina and can leak fluid or blood, causing rapid vision changes.
What can you do to help protect your vision?
✅ Don't smoke. Smoking is one of the strongest risk factors for AMD progression.
✅ Eat a healthy diet rich in leafy greens, colourful fruits and vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids.
✅ Protect your eyes from UV exposure with quality sunglasses when outdoors.
✅ Maintain healthy blood pressure and cardiovascular health.
✅ Have regular eye examinations so changes can be detected early.
For patients with early or mild AMD, nutritional support may play a role. Depending on the stage of AMD, supplements such as Vision Essence or Vitalux may be recommended to support retinal health.
We're also excited to see emerging technologies and therapies aimed at slowing progression and supporting retinal function. Some of these treatments are still in the early stages of clinical implementation, but they represent promising developments in AMD care:
✨ Arunalight – A photobiomodulation therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to support retinal cell function.
✨ MacuMira – A novel treatment approach being investigated for its potential role in improving retinal health and visual function in patients with dry AMD.
While these newer therapies may not be appropriate for every patient, the landscape of AMD management is changing rapidly, and we are optimistic about the future.
If you have AMD, a family history of AMD, or concerns about your vision, speak with your optometrist. Early detection and personalized management remain the most important tools we have in protecting sight.

Not all children realize they’re having trouble seeing — and many won’t tell you because they assume everyone sees the same way they do. 👀
Does your child:
• Rub their eyes more than usual?
• Squint a lot?
• Shy away from bright lights?
• Sit very close to screens or the TV?
• Complain of headaches or tired eyes?
• Cover one eye or tilt their head?
• Struggle with reading or lose their place often?
• Avoid coloring, puzzles, or close-up activities?
• Have trouble concentrating at school?
• Seem unusually clumsy or bump into things?
• Have one eye turning in or out occasionally?
These can all be signs your child may benefit from a comprehensive eye examination with an optometrist. Early detection is important — many vision problems can be treated more effectively when caught young.
In Ontario, OHIP covers annual comprehensive eye examinations for children and teens under 20 with an optometrist. 🇨🇦
Healthy vision plays a huge role in learning, development, confidence, and everyday life. If you have concerns about your child’s eyes or vision, don’t wait to book an exam.
