Is there an optometrist near Queen West?
Yes. Spadina Optometry is at 477 Richmond St W, Suite 809 — one block south of Queen Street West, near Spadina Avenue.
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 close is it to Queen Street?
Richmond is the next street south of Queen, so from the Queen and Spadina area we are only a few minutes on foot. The 501 Queen streetcar runs the length of the strip, so the shops and galleries of West Queen West — out toward the Gladstone, the Drake, and Trinity-Bellwoods — are a short ride away.
Booking without a workplace plan
Queen West runs on artists, freelancers, and independent studios, and plenty of our patients pay privately or use an individual health plan rather than a big employer group. A few things worth knowing:
- A comprehensive adult eye exam not covered by OHIP is $198
- We can direct-bill most private and employer plans if you have one
- You never need a referral to book

Families near Trinity-Bellwoods
We see patients of all ages, including kids from the Trinity-Bellwoods and West Queen West area. OHIP covers one eye exam per year for children and teens under 20, and we offer children’s eye exams and myopia management when a child’s vision is changing.
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.
