Since 1989, successive political parties in Ontario have refused to formally talk to optometrists about how to best deliver eye care in this province. Despite inflation rising almost 80% since then, our fees have barely budged from $39.15 in 1989 to an average of $44.65 today.
This does not come close to covering the costs (rent, staff, utilities, equipment, taxes and supplies) to provide an eye exam, leaving optometrists to pay out of their own pockets to conduct OHIP-funded exams.Worse still, Ontario's legislation makes it illegal for optometrists to accept anything above what OHIP pays, meaning that a patient cannot even pay for an eye exam if they are OHIP-eligible.
