With eye doctors embroiled in a pay dispute with the Ontario government over what OHIP covers of an annual eye exam, the province’s optometrists have threatened to not accept OHIP-covered patients — which most affects patients under 18 and above 65 — come September unless the province agrees to legally-binding negotiations on the issue. Dr. Salaba joins us to explain the doctor’s case.
