About Spadina Optometry
Since 2002, we have built a clinic that delivers world-class eye care with the warmth and trust of a small-town practice — right in the heart of downtown Toronto.
Our Philosophy
Personal care. Professional excellence.
We care for patients of all ages — from infants to seniors — with a commitment to clinical excellence and human connection. Our female-owned, independent clinic is equipped with the latest diagnostic technology and has access to some of Toronto's leading specialists at University Health Network, Toronto Western Hospital, and the David K. Johnson Eye Institute.
Whether it is a child's first eye exam or advanced imaging for complex conditions, we aim to provide care that is personalized, accessible, and always guided by what is best for your vision and health.

Beyond the Exam Room
Part of the community since 2002
We have brought our families, our kids, and even our late clinic dog Dr. Buttercup into this space — because we know health care is personal. For us, that means showing up with kindness, presence, and professionalism every day.
We are proud of the incredible associates and alumni who have shaped our story — and grateful for every patient who has trusted us along the way.
Academic Partnership
Optometry clerkship site
Spadina Optometry is a credentialed and approved optometry clerkship site through the University of Waterloo School of Optometry and Vision Science.
As part of their final year of training, student optometrists complete two 15-week clinical placements in approved clinics across Canada and the U.S. We are proud to support the next generation of optometrists by offering hands-on experience in patient care under the supervision of our licensed doctors of optometry.
