At Bay Bloor Optometry in Toronto, we understand that clear vision is a cornerstone of quality of life. That's why we stress the importance of regular eye examinations and proper eye care, integral for everything from driving to enjoying precious moments with family.
Many overlook their eye health, but with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) residents have access to essential eye care services. As 2023 unfolds, it's crucial to use the OHIP benefits to maintain and protect your vision.
Understanding OHIP Coverage for Eye Care
Eye care costs can be a concern, but OHIP provides coverage for various eye care services, making it easier to manage your eye health. Here’s how OHIP can support your vision care needs:
OHIP Coverage for Eye Examinations
OHIP covers one major eye exam every 12 months for specific age groups and medical conditions. If you are under 20, over 65, or have specific medical conditions like diabetes or glaucoma, you’re eligible for annual eye exams covered by OHIP.
Additional Eye Care Services
For other age groups, OHIP may cover the cost of an eye exam if it’s medically necessary. If you’re experiencing issues with your vision or eye health, consult with Bay Bloor Optometry to determine if your exam may be covered.
The Importance of Regular Eye Check-Ups
Regular eye exams are more than just vision assessments; they can detect early signs of health issues such as diabetes or high blood pressure, thus acting as a preventive health measure.
