On April 6, the Board of Governors approved a motion to provide staff and faculty and their eligible dependents with a basic vision care plan that will provide a reimbursement of $85 per participant every two years for eye exams.
Beginning May 1, the School of Optometry & Vision Science's Optometry Clinics will be discounting the cost of comprehensive eye exams from $100 to $85 for all university employees and eligible dependants looking to utilize the new vision care plan. University employees will also receive a discount of 10 per cent on all purchases made from the clinic’s optical dispensary, including glasses, contact lenses, eye drops and select at home treatments. Please note – unfortunately, the basic vision care plan does not cover the cost of specialty services at our clinics.
To schedule an appointment at the main clinic (200 Columbia Street West) or the downtown Kitchener Health Sciences Optometry clinic (10B Victoria Street South), please visit our website to make an appointment on-line or call 519-888-4062 ext. 4062.
To keep our patients and personnel safe during the pandemic, our optometry clinics have implemented COVID-19 procedures to limit the risk of infection, as per the Waterloo Region’s public health guidelines.
