Dear Patients: Thank you for your ongoing patience.
The Ontario Association of Optometrists (OAO) and the Ministry of Health have agreed to enter formal negotiations regarding OHIP funding of optometric care. As a sign of good faith, the OAO is pausing its job action as of November 23, 2021, ensuring that millions of Ontarians insured by OHIP can again benefit from the expertise of their optometrist during these negotiations.
On October 6th, Minister Elliott stated in the Ontario Legislature: “We don’t expect optometrists to pay out of pocket for the services that they provide,” offering a public commitment that the government will ensure that the cost of delivering OHIP-insured services is not borne by optometrists. The OAO is committed to negotiating a sustainable funding model that aligns with how optometric care is funded in other Canadian jurisdictions.
The OAO expects robust talks to begin immediately, noting that the swift resolution of this issue is a top priority for both optometrists and their patients.

Very knowledgeable, compassionate, and competent. Had pink eye and immediately tended to and treated. Has a soft spot for children. Seen him for over eight years. Glad to know that he is compentent doctor who will spend the necessary time to perform a thorough eye exam. My entire family sees him because of his good qualities. Thanks again Doc!
We had our son visit Dr. Lee after my parents highly recommended him - and were so glad we did! He is by far one of the kindest doctors I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He DOES have a soft spot for kids. He turned the eye exam into a playful game and got total buy-in from my son. He took the time to explain everything that needed an explanation. My son didn't stop talking about his visit to Dr. Lee's for days after! The receptionist was fantastic as well. We had to keep moving the appointment around and she was very patient and pleasant about it.
