For those of you who have received notice of your 80+ driving assessment:

You are welcome to book an appointment with our office to complete the vision assessment, however, we wanted to inform you that OHIP does not cover any service related to the continuation of a driver's license, including the eye exam and the report. Alternatively, you may visit a DriveTest location to obtain the required vision tests at no charge to you.
