As of November 1st, 2004, routine eye examinations provided by either an optometrist or physician, for patients aged 20 to 64 are no longer covered by OHIP.

​

Patients 65 years and older and patients 19 and under will continue to have OHIP coverage for an eye examination once every 12 months. There are parts of the examination that is not covered by OHIP. It will be discussed with you prior to the start of your examination. Please remember to bring your valid OHIP card every time.
