Bloor West Optometry
2477 Bloor Street West, Main Floor M6S 1P7 Toronto, ON, Canada

Optometrists have subsidized OHIP covered eye exams for decades. OHIP payment only covers a fraction of the cost and has not kept up with the cost of providing a thorough examination using current technology and standards of care.

We need everyone to open their eyes to this crisis!

Eye care in Ontario is at risk due to chronic government underfunding

Eye health in Ontario is at serious risk. COVID-19 has highlighted the gaps and strained the system for Ontarians eye health even further. Change is critical to protect our eye health. Learn more at https://saveeyecare.ca/.

Happy Canada Day!!

Happy Father's Day!!! Hope everyone can share an ice cream or a beer with their dad today, even if it's virtually. #fathersday #toronto #bloorwestvillage #dadjokes #storiestotelllater

COVID-19 has strained our health care workers and decimated local businesses. Optometrists are experiencing both and without changes to OHIP funding many wont be able to re-open their offices, unless we take action now.

Next up on our series to showcase the eyewear at BWO is KATE SPADE. It is often difficult for women with petite faces to find eyewear. But KATE SPADE has answered their call. We love the collection for its versatility - appealing to both young and mature - and its spunkiness. #bloorwestvillage #toronto #eyewear #fashion #optometrists #girlsjustwanttohavefun #katespade

An exhilarating & unforgettable moment. #wethenorth #perseverance #focus #toronto #bloorwestvillage #eyesontheprize

Starting tomorrow, Monday, June 8th, our hours of operations will change! This schedule will be effective until further notice. See you soon! #bloorwestvillage #toronto #eyecare #optometrists #healthcare #eyewear

Starting this week, we will be starting a series on the eyewear collections available at BWO. Today, we will focus on VANNI, a brand well loved by many clients of BWO. VANNI has been designing frames for over 25 years. Till this day, all of its frames are made in Italy. We love the brand for its bold colours, finishes and comfort. When I look at its patterns, I am often reminded of the intricate stained glass seen in historic cathedrals in Europe. In its details, I can also feel the energy and modernity from everyone working in the company. #eyewear #fashion #bloorwestvillage #toronto #optometrists #eyecare #lookgoodfeelgood

For our first week, our schedule will be as follows: Monday to Friday, 9 am - 5 pm. We will be revising our policies as needed, under the guidance of the Ontario Association of Optometrists & the Ministry of Health. If you have any questions, please let us know! #bloorwestvillage #toronto #eyecare #healthcare #optometrists #welcomeback

Ontario optometrists can now begin seeing patients for non-urgent care provided they follow both the College's Return to Work guidance and requirements from the... Ministry of Health. Review the new requirements here: https://collegeoptom.on.ca//profe/covid-19-return-to-work/ What does this mean for patients?

Today's warm weather is making us crave salad. So, continuing our #visionhealth posts, we're sharing 1 of our fav kale salad recipes. Kale contains lutein & zeaxanthin, both of which protect the macula, the part of the eye that gives us our central & most detailed vision. Enjoy! #bloorwestvillage #toronto #eyecare #optometrists https://cookieandkate.com/raw-kale-and-brussels-sprouts-sa/

We hope you have been practicing the 20-20-20 rule! Some of you may point out it's hard to take a break when you're focused on work, how do we know when to stop? Our answer is listen to your body (eyes)! If you start feeling any of these 4 symptoms shown in the image, it's time for a break. Stretch, look away from the screen or close your eyes for a bit. Rest isn't exclusive to the upcoming Victoria Day long weekend. Have a good & restful one, everyone! #visionhealthmonth #toronto #bloorwestvillage #eyecare #eyedoctors #whyeyes

May is #VisionHealthMonth. Today we encourage you to take a break for your eyes. Like many of you, we've had a difficult transition from being in the office to working from home - little space, kids and other responsibilities. So much so that it's easy to forget about ourselves. But the 20-20-20 rule is a great way to add a little #selfcare into your #WFH routine. Try it out! You may notice a change like we have. =) #whyeyecare #health #toronto #bloorwestvillage #eyedoctors #eyewise #restisgood

We've been a little quiet here at BWO during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, we've reflected on the things that make our practice unique - like our personable service - & struggled with how to express that in our online presence. But we are emerging from our little bubble now! Over the next few days, we will provide updates & new ways for us to provide care for you. Please stay tuned!!! #toronto #withyou #healthcare #eyecare #bloorwestvillage #eyedoctors #helloworld #optometrists Media credit: THE LADY on dribble
