Optometrists are well-trained and capable of providing emergency eye care and removal of objects from the eye, but we're not allowed in Ontario the way our colleagues are in other provinces. Expanding this scope of practice would help increase access to care and enhance outcomes for patients.

Ontario Medical Association opposes proposal, though optometrists can perform the procedures elsewhere in Canada

Good news coming! 🥳 Optometrists already have the skills to manage glaucoma and do these procedures, but are limited by scope. Allowing us to practice as we were trained will relieve the burden on specialists and reduce wait times!

The government is consulting on proposed changes that could expand optometrists’ scope of practice — including the ability to manage glaucoma, perform minor surgical and laser procedures, and order diagnostic tests.

We commend the Ontario government for recognizing the critical role optometrists play in delivering accessible, patient-centred care.

These changes would mean faster access, fewer unnecessary referrals, and stronger recognition of the vital role optometrists play in protecting your vision.
OAO is at the table, ensuring the profession’s voice is heard as we work together toward a stronger future for eye care in Ontario.

75% of vision loss is preventable with early detection and treatment, yet many Ontarians face unnecessary delays in care. Optometrists can help reduce ER visits by managing common eye conditions. It’s time to modernize Ontario’s vision care system.
