Is there an optometrist near CityPlace and Fort York?
Yes. Spadina Optometry is at 477 Richmond St W, Suite 809 — a short walk north of the CityPlace and Fort York condo community, just past The Well at Front and Spadina.
We have cared for downtown Toronto patients since 2002 as an independent, female-owned practice — the same team, knowing your eyes year after year.
How do I get here from the neighbourhood?
From the CityPlace and Fort York towers, we are:
- Roughly a 10 to 15 minute walk north up Spadina, past The Well and over the rail corridor
- A short ride on the 510 Spadina streetcar from Fort York Boulevard and Bremner up to Richmond
Eye care for the whole family
CityPlace and Fort York are full of young families, and we see patients of every age — children, adults, and seniors — in one place. That makes it easy to book the whole household together.
For kids specifically:
- OHIP covers one eye exam per year for children and teens under 20
- We offer children’s eye exams and myopia management
- A child’s vision changes quickly, and problems like amblyopia and myopia are most treatable when caught early
Do you direct-bill insurance?
Yes. We direct-bill most major providers — Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, and more — so you do not pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement. See our supported plans, or book online.
Do I need a referral to book?
No. In Ontario you do not need a referral to see an optometrist. You can book directly online or call us at 416-703-2797.
