Pediatric Care Update:

As of January 2026, unfortunately we are not accepting new pediatric patients.

If your child is already an established patient with us, appointments are currently being booked well in advance and are typically being scheduled during daytime hours (9:45am-2:30pm). There is an optional waitlist for current pediatric patients who wish to be contacted in the event of last-minute cancellations. Please give our office a call and our team will be happy to review availability and assist you further. 

Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to trust us with your family's eye care. 

Children are often unaware that they have a vision problem. They can't always tell you what they see. From classroom learning to simply taking their first steps or speaking their first words, children rely on vision to meet various milestones and thrive in their daily environment.

A regular eye exam can help detect vision problems in children as early as 6 months old.

We recommend that a child has their first eye exam by 3 years old. This period is critical in the development of depth perception and hand eye coordination.

"But my child doesn't know their alphabet yet" - Parents

Not to worry! Our optometrists have many non-invasive ways of checking a child's vision even if your child is not speaking yet. And on top of it, we do it in a fun and inviting way! 

Kids under the age of 20 are covered for annual eye exams under OHIP.
