Thanks to all of you who have supported us! We are currently pausing our job action while the @ONOptometrists are in negotiations with the government.
Please head to our website to book an OHIP insured eye exam https://t.co/55HXX0YVH7

Meanwhile, @celliottability says they're the ones waiting for optometrists to come to the table. But behind closed doors, @derabbie & the OAO haven't heard a PEEP in 2+ months.

This table also costs each side $15K/DAY to be at. For that, it better be a table worth being at.

After 2 days of mediation, the provincial government left the bargaining table and turned their backs once again on our patients. The government is more concerned with saving face than saving access to eye care for vulnerable Ontarians. #SaveEyeCare

[Ontario Association Of Optometrists @ONOptometrists]

The @TorontoStar published a great piece that covers why the 39$ million is unacceptable. This "one-time retroactive payment averages to just over $1 per optometry service."

The Ontario Government still won’t commit to covering operating costs or to ensuring that eye exam fees aren’t the lowest in the country. @OAOPresident joins @spaikin on @TheAgenda to discuss the fight to #SaveEyeCare in Ontario.

We continue to call on @ONgov to commit to finding a long-term sustainable solution so that Ontarians continue to have access to high quality eye care, today and in the future. #SaveEyeCare

All eye exams covered by OHIP stopped on Sept. 1, and now kids are struggling to read lessons in school and seniors can’t get prescriptions.
This morning, I’m calling on Ford to get back to the table with optometrists to give children and seniors the eye care they need. #onpoli

"If the health minister doesn’t agree with that figure she needs to explain why. Otherwise, the government should offer optometrists a fair deal. And she should do it without further delay because it’s patients who are suffering now."

[Ontario Association Of Optometrists @ONOptometrists]

A real commitment from @ONgov to either cost recovery or ensuring Ontario optometrists are no longer the lowest funded in the country is all that is required to resume talks.

"At least cover what it costs us to see a patient."

Dr. Wes McCann speaks to @ctvottawa on the need for a long-term, sustainable solution to address the decades long underfunding of eye care in Ontario. #SaveEyeCare

[Ontario Association Of Optometrists @ONOptometrists]

Optometrists in Ontario are the lowest funded optometrists in Canada. For more than 30 years, we have not been able to invest in protecting our most vulnerable patients. Real change is needed. #SaveEyeCare / https://t.co/Uvonu1abx5

"It's like tossing a bucket of water on a house fire."

Being the lowest funded province in the country means we cannot invest in protecting our most vulnerable patients. #SaveEyeCare / https://t.co/Uvonu1abx5

[Ontario Association Of Optometrists @ONOptometrists]

The @ONgov continues to refuse to commit to finding a long-term, sustainable solution that will ensure Ontario families have access to optometry services.

Compared to other provinces with publicly funded optometry services, Ontario is by far the lowest funded. #SaveEyeCare

[Ontario Association Of Optometrists @ONOptometrists]

Statement on behalf of Dr. Sheldon Salaba, President of the Ontario Association of Optometrists:

[Ontario Association Of Optometrists @ONOptometrists]

Which one would you choose? 🤔

After 30+ years of underfunding, access to eye care in Ontario is in serious jeopardy. To help make option #2 a reality, please visit https://t.co/Uvonu1abx5 today and send a letter to your MPP.

Together, let's #SaveEyeCare.
