Eye Health

An assessment by an optometrist or opthamalogist is covered by OHIP with the following guidelines:

  • An eye exam every 12 months, plus 2 follow-up appointments for seniors with certain potentially sight-threatening conditions (65 years and older)

  • An eye exam every 18 months, plus 2 follow-up appointments for seniors without sight-threatening conditions (65 years and older)

A sudden onset of vision loss is an ocular emergency as it could indicate a retinal detachment. You should go to the nearest emergency if this occurs.
