Full scope eye care from one clinic on Lakeshore Road West, from routine exams and contact lens fittings through to dry eye treatment, glaucoma monitoring and urgent appointments. Every visit is with one of our optometrists.
Vision testing plus a full assessment of eye health, including pressure, retinal imaging and optic nerve review. The foundation of everything else.
Learn more OHIP coveredVision development, focusing and tracking, plus screening for lazy eye and misalignment. Fully covered by OHIP to age 20.
Learn more OHIP coveredAnnual retinal screening for diabetic retinopathy using OCT imaging. Covered by OHIP at any age when you have a diabetes diagnosis.
Learn moreA focused look at the health of the eye rather than the prescription, using retinal photography, visual field testing and optional OCT scanning.
Learn moreOngoing monitoring and co management with your specialist, backed by year on year imaging that makes small changes visible early.
Learn moreLipiFlow thermal pulsation, BlephEx eyelid cleaning and Meibomian gland expression, treating the blocked glands rather than masking symptoms.
Learn morePressure testing, optic nerve imaging and visual field mapping. Glaucoma is symptomless until vision is already lost, so baselines matter.
Learn moreDetection and monitoring of age related macular degeneration with OCT scans that reveal changes at the macula before you notice distortion.
Learn moreSlowing the progression of short sightedness in children, which reduces the risk of retinal problems later in life rather than just updating lenses.
Learn moreHeadaches, tired eyes and blur after long screen days. Treated with computer specific lenses, coatings and practical changes to how you work.
Learn moreDaily disposables, extended wear, toric lenses for astigmatism and multifocals, measured against your corneal shape rather than guessed.
Learn moreCustom designs for irregular corneas, keratoconus and eyes that have not tolerated standard lenses.
Learn moreA curated designer dispensary including Tom Ford, Versace, Ralph Lauren and Saint Laurent, measured and adjusted in person.
Learn moreHigh definition progressives, anti reflective and anti scratch coatings, blue light filtering and photochromic options explained plainly.
Learn morePolarised and tinted prescription lenses for driving, water and sport, including Maui Jim and designer frames.
Learn moreForeign bodies, sudden flashes or floaters, injury, infection or abrupt vision change. Call us first, we will make room the same day.
Learn morePre operative assessment of corneal thickness and candidacy, referral to a trusted GTA surgeon, and follow up care back here in Oakville.
Learn moreTreatment for binocular vision problems, eye teaming and focusing difficulties that a prescription alone will not resolve.
Learn moreMost people only need one of the first two. If you are unsure, call the clinic and the front desk will book you into the right appointment rather than leaving you to guess.
It has been a year or more Book a comprehensive eye exam. This is the default appointment and covers vision, prescription and the health of the eye.
Something changed suddenly Call us, do not book online. New floaters, flashes, pain, redness or a drop in vision needs seeing quickly rather than at the next free slot.
It is for a child Book a children's eye exam. It is covered by OHIP to age 20 and tests things a school vision screening does not.
Your eyes burn, water or feel gritty Book a dry eye assessment. Watering eyes are usually a dry eye symptom, which surprises most people.
You want to try contact lenses Book a contact lens fitting. It is a separate appointment from an eye exam because it measures the shape of your eye, not just your prescription.
You have diabetes or glaucoma Book an annual exam and say so when you call. Your exam is covered by OHIP at any age with a qualifying diagnosis.
Most of the services above depend on the same set of instruments. A prescription can be measured with a chart and a phoropter. Detecting disease early cannot, which is why the clinic invests in imaging that shows the tissue behind the eye.
OCT scanning is offered as an optional addition to your exam rather than being part of every appointment. Where it is done, the scans are stored so each visit can be compared against the last, and that history is what turns a single reading into a trend.
OHIP funds one routine eye exam per year for anyone under 20, and one every 18 months for anyone 65 or older (every 12 months if you have a qualifying medical condition). Adults between 20 and 64 normally pay privately, with one important exception that catches a lot of people out.
If you have a qualifying medical condition, your exam is covered at any age. Diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts and retinal disease all qualify. Mention any diagnosis when you book so we can check it against the current list, and bring your extended health details if you have workplace benefits.
The clinic is at 135 Lakeshore Road West in south Oakville, with free parking on site. Every service on this page is available to patients from across the Halton and west Mississauga area.
Central to Kerr Village, Old Oakville and the Lakeshore corridor, with free parking at the door.
Find usA straight run along Lakeshore Road from Bronte Village and the harbour, with no highway driving.
Bronte eye examsConvenient for Clarkson, Lorne Park and Port Credit without driving north into central Mississauga.
South Mississauga eye careNo. Optometrists are primary care providers in Ontario, so you can book any service on this page directly. A referral is only needed if Dr. Mungar sends you on to an ophthalmologist or surgeon, and he arranges that himself.
No, they are separate appointments. An eye exam determines your prescription and checks the health of your eyes. A fitting measures the curvature and diameter of your cornea, assesses your tear film, and trials lenses to confirm they sit correctly and stay comfortable.
If you want contacts and it has been a year since your last exam, book both. The fitting depends on a current prescription.
A comprehensive eye exam runs 30 to 45 minutes. Contact lens fittings take a similar time, sometimes with a short follow up. LipiFlow is about 12 minutes of treatment. Urgent appointments are as long as the problem requires.
Allow extra time if you plan to choose frames afterwards, since fitting and measuring is not something to rush.
Anything urgent. Something caught in the eye, an injury, sudden pain or redness, a new shower of floaters, flashes of light, or an abrupt change in vision. Call the clinic rather than booking online so we can fit you in.
For eye problems specifically, an optometrist is usually faster and better equipped than a hospital emergency department.
Routine eye exams are covered annually for patients under 20 and every 18 months for patients 65 or older (every 12 months with a qualifying condition), and at any age for patients with diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts or certain retinal conditions. Urgent and medically necessary visits are also covered.
Contact lens fittings, eyewear, dry eye treatments such as LipiFlow and BlephEx, and LASIK consultations are not OHIP funded, though many are claimable through workplace benefits.
Yes. The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends a first eye exam at six months, another at age three, one before starting school, and annually through the school years.
Children rarely report a vision problem because blurred vision is all they have known, so a school screening is not a substitute for a full exam. All of it is covered by OHIP to age 20.
Not quite. A glasses prescription and a contact lens prescription are different, because a contact lens sits directly on the eye while a spectacle lens sits about twelve millimetres in front of it. Contact lens prescriptions also specify base curve and diameter.
You can have both, they just need to be issued separately, which is why the fitting is its own appointment.
Yes. Dr. Mungar carries out the pre operative assessment, refers you to a surgeon in the GTA, then handles your post operative follow up here in Oakville rather than sending you back to a distant surgical centre for every check.
New patients are welcome and no referral is needed. Book online in under a minute, or call and we will make sure you are booked into the right service.
