Dr. J.C. Mungar Optometry sits at 135 Lakeshore Road West in south Oakville, a straight run west along Lakeshore from the Mississauga border. Comprehensive eye exams, advanced dry eye treatment and a full dispensary, with free parking at the door.
Nobody drives past three optometrists to reach a fourth without a reason. The patients who come to us from Clarkson, Lorne Park, Rattray Marsh and Port Credit generally do it for one of three.
The first is continuity. Our optometrists keep your records and imaging in one place, so your results are compared against your own history. The second is equipment, including optional OCT retinal imaging, and LipiFlow and BlephEx for dry eye, which most clinics do not have.
The third is simply that it is easier than it looks. Lakeshore Road runs straight through, there is no highway involved unless you want one, and there is free parking at the clinic rather than a hunt for a meter.
Closer than most people assume. The clinic is on Lakeshore Road West in the Kerr Village area of south Oakville, so for most of the Mississauga lakeshore it is a single road with no highway needed.
From the QEW, exit at Bronte Road or Dorval Drive and head south to Lakeshore Road West. Free parking is available on site, and Oakville Transit runs along Lakeshore Road if you would rather not drive. Full directions are on our contact page.
Exams, treatment, contact lenses and eyewear are all handled at the one clinic, so there is rarely a second trip elsewhere.
Visual acuity, refraction, eye pressure, optic nerve assessment and digital retinal photography, with OCT imaging available as an optional test. For adults, children and seniors.
Learn moreLipiFlow thermal pulsation and BlephEx eyelid therapy, neither of which is available at most local clinics. A common reason patients travel here specifically.
Learn more OHIP coveredFully covered by OHIP to age 20, with techniques suited to infants and pre-readers. Families from across the Mississauga lakeshore are welcome.
Learn more OHIP coveredAnnual retinal screening for diabetic retinopathy using OCT imaging, covered by OHIP at any age with a diabetes diagnosis.
Learn moreDaily disposables through to specialty lenses for irregular corneas, measured against your corneal shape rather than estimated.
Learn moreDesigner frames including Tom Ford, Versace and Ralph Lauren, measured and fitted in person rather than approximated, with adjustments handled at the clinic.
Learn moreWe request your records With your written consent we contact your previous optometrist. Prior results genuinely matter for conditions like glaucoma where change over time is the diagnosis.
OHIP is unaffected Coverage is provincial, not local. Eligible exams are covered identically wherever in Ontario you are seen, and we bill OHIP directly.
No referral, no waiting list Book directly online or by phone. Urgent problems are usually seen the same day, covered under emergency eye care.
Also serving Oakville and Bronte The clinic covers the whole Lakeshore corridor, including Bronte to the west.
Yes. There are no catchment boundaries for eye care in Ontario, so you can see any optometrist in the province regardless of where you live.
A number of our longest standing patients live in Clarkson, Lorne Park and Port Credit and have made the drive for years.
Yes. OHIP coverage is provincial, not municipal. Eligible patients are covered identically wherever in Ontario they are seen, and we bill OHIP directly.
That covers anyone under 20, anyone 65 or over, and patients with a qualifying condition such as diabetes or glaucoma at any age.
Around 12 to 15 minutes from Clarkson and 20 to 25 minutes from Port Credit, heading west along Lakeshore Road. Lorne Park is roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
You can also come off the QEW at Bronte Road or Dorval Drive, though Lakeshore is usually simpler outside rush hour.
Yes, free parking is available on site at 135 Lakeshore Road West, so there is no meter to feed. If the lot is full there is municipal parking nearby in Kerr Village.
Yes. With your written consent we request your file from your previous clinic and it becomes part of your record here.
This is worth doing rather than starting fresh. Conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration are identified by change over time, so prior results make your first exam here considerably more useful.
Usually yes. Call rather than booking online and we will make room. Sudden vision loss, eye pain, new floaters, flashes, an injury or something caught in the eye all warrant a same day appointment.
For eye problems specifically, an optometrist is generally faster and better equipped than a hospital emergency department.
New patients from Clarkson, Lorne Park, Rattray Marsh and Port Credit are always welcome. No referral needed and we will handle your records transfer.
