Old North Optometry will be closed until further notice on the recommendation of the College of Optometrists of Ontario in an attempt to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
We will remain available for urgent care and ocular emergencies only (please see the list below for what constitutes an ocular emergency). If you have an ocular emergency, please contact the office via email at info@oldnorthoptometry.com. We will be triaging on a case-by-case basis.
There will be no glasses or contact lens pickups during this time.
Thank-you for your understanding.
