Specialty contact lenses
We fit lenses other clinics often can't. Better comfort, clearer vision, fewer compromises.
Astigmatism
Toric and custom lenses that stay stable and sharp all day — even with high or irregular astigmatism.
Severe dry eye
Scleral lenses that vault over the cornea and hold a fluid reservoir — continuous hydration, all day.
Keratoconus & irregular corneas
Custom scleral and gas-permeable fittings for corneas that standard lenses cannot correct.
Pricing and coverage, clearly explained
- • Transparent exam fees for adults
- • OHIP accepted for eligible visits
- • Insurance direct billing when supported by your plan
Vision Insurance Direct Billing
If your plan supports it, we can submit your claim for you during your visit.
Our goal is to make billing straightforward. Insurance systems vary, so eligibility and coverage details are not always confirmed in real time.
To help things go smoothly
- Bring your insurance card (or a screenshot of the details).
- If you can, share your plan details with us before your appointment so our team has time to prepare.
- We will do our best to submit your claim, but final coverage is determined by your insurer.
Not sure what your plan covers? We can point you in the right direction.
Getting here
Transit and parking
