I have expressed my significant concern over the pending cancellation of OHIP insured services by Ontario’s optometrists because the Ontario government has refused to come to the table and negotiate a new fee schedule with them for almost thirty years. I wrote to the Minister about this last August, and still haven’t received a reply or any indications that the Ministry shares the concerns of my constituents about losing these services.

In the following two letters to Minister of Health and Deputy Premier Christine Elliott, I remind the Minister that eye exams are an important tool in diagnosing illness in the early stages.

You can read both letters to Minister Elliott below.
