Eye Care in North York
Comprehensive Eye Examinations – Adults & Children
Retinal Scans
Comprehensive eye exams are an integral part of maintaining healthy eyesight for both adults and children. Our knowledgeable and experienced optometrists (Eye Doctor) can detect any underlying conditions that could cause damage to your vision later on in life.
Adults between the ages of 20 and 64 should receive an eye exam once every two years. For seniors 65 and older, they are recommended every year. We recommend comprehensive eye exams even if you do not have any symptoms. In many cases, vision loss can occur when symptoms are not noticed or addressed by a professional.
We strive to provide each patient with an exceptional care experience by combining our advanced technology with expert preventative recommendations and treatments.
Contact Lens Fitting
Contact lenses are commonly worn as an alternative to glasses. They are an excellent choice that can be used daily or for specific occasions, such as playing sports.
It is important to have your contact lenses properly fitted so your experience wearing them is comfortable, hygienic, and optimized to meet your unique vision needs.
Our Optometry team will go through the following steps to help you find the right contact lenses:
Our Optometry team will go through the following steps to help you find the right contact lenses:
| Step 1 | A comprehensive eye examination |

| Step 3 | A contact lens trial and prescription |

Dry Eye Assessment
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a condition that takes place when the tears produced by the eyes are unable to keep them properly lubricated. This results in uncomfortable symptoms which may include red, dry, itchy or watery eyes, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, excess tearing and/or headaches.
It is a chronic disease that is manageable but may interfere with day-to-day tasks. For this reason, patients experiencing Dry Eye Disease should frequently visit an Optometrist because untreated symptoms can result in further eye damage including vision loss in extreme cases.
HealthOne offers diagnostic dry eye testing so we can identify your symptoms including the quality of your tears, then provide you with effective solutions and treatments.
Eye Treatments in North York
LipiFlow Dry Eye Treatment
A common reason people experience dry eyes is because they have a lack of oil in their tears. This can lead to premature tear evaporation which causes uncomfortable symptoms including dryness and a burning sensation.
Lipiflow treatment can be used to restore the oil in your tears. It uses Vector Thermal Pulsation to clear and open your oil glands in the short span of only 12 minutes. It’s recommended that you come in for a dry eye consultation before your Lipiflow appointment. We can often accommodate both a consultation and Lipiflow treatment (at our Toronto location) in the same day based on our availability.
Eye Emergencies and Emergency Appointments
It’s important for you to have fast access to emergency eye care in North York. When an accident happens, you need access to an Optometrist who is knowledgeable and skilled in diagnosing and treating a wide range of eye injuries.
If you have any of the following symptoms, we recommend you visit an Optometrist for an emergency appointment before visiting the emergency room: sudden vision loss, double vision, redness, eye pain, pink eye, styes, concussions, infections, itchy eyes, irritation, issues with contact lenses, foreign body/materials in the eyes, floaters, onset flashes or exposure to chemicals.
HealthOne Optometry offers emergency medical eye care services for both new and existing patients.

Dry Eye Therapy with I-MED Pharma
Dry Eye Disease occurs when tears produced fail to keep the surface of the eyes properly lubricated. As a result, those suffering may experience discomfort that can interfere with daily tasks and everyday life.

We use the innovative I-PEN Osmolarity System, the world’s first point-of-care electronic diagnostic device. It measures tear film osmolarity associated with marginal, mild, moderate, and severe dry eye disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book an eye exam in North York?
You can book an eye exam at HealthOne Optometry North York through the online optometry booking portal or by calling 416-223-6666. New optometry patients are currently welcome, subject to appointment availability.
Do I need a prescription to buy contact lenses?
Yes. Contact lenses require a valid contact-lens prescription, which includes measurements and fitting information not normally found in a glasses prescription. A contact-lens fitting may be required before lenses are ordered.
Do I need an eye exam for contact lenses?
You need a current prescription and an appropriate contact-lens fitting. An eye exam checks eye health and vision, while the fitting confirms the lens type, size and material suitable for your eyes.
How often should contact lenses be replaced?
Follow the replacement schedule prescribed for your specific lenses, such as daily, biweekly or monthly replacement. Do not wear lenses longer than directed or sleep in them unless your optometrist has specifically approved overnight wear.
Are prescription glasses or contact lenses covered by OHIP?
OHIP generally does not pay for prescription glasses or contact lenses. Some patients qualify for OHIP-insured eye examinations, while eyewear may be covered through private insurance or certain assistance programs.
Can an optometrist treat dry eye?
Yes. An optometrist can assess the cause and severity of dry-eye symptoms and recommend options such as eye-care changes, lubricating products or in-office treatment when appropriate. The recommended treatment depends on your examination findings.
When should I be concerned about dry eyes?
Book an eye assessment if dryness, burning, redness, watering or light sensitivity persists or affects daily activities. Seek urgent eye care for sudden vision loss, severe pain, significant injury or chemical exposure.
Can too much screen time harm my eyes?
Prolonged screen use can contribute to digital eye strain, temporary blurred vision, headaches and dry-eye symptoms. Regular breaks, conscious blinking and an appropriate workstation may help, but persistent symptoms should be assessed by an optometrist.
Are eye exams covered by OHIP in Ontario?
OHIP covers routine eye examinations for children and youth aged 19 or younger and provides coverage for eligible adults based on age and specified medical conditions. Coverage frequency and eligibility vary, so confirm your status with the clinic before the examination.
How often should I have an eye exam?
Eye-exam frequency depends on your age, eye health, prescription, medical history and symptoms. Your optometrist will recommend an interval after your examination; book sooner if you notice new vision changes, pain, flashes, floaters or other concerning symptoms.
