How Peel Eye Care Is Different

At Peel Eye Care, we are an optometrist-owned and optometrist-led medical optometry clinic, which means your eye health always comes first.

Meet Dr. Zara Akhter.

We invest in advanced diagnostic equipment, in-house technology, and ongoing clinical training to provide comprehensive eye care under one roof. From your eye exam to your eyewear recommendations, every decision is guided by your ocular health, prescription, lifestyle, and visual needs.

Unlike many optical shops, where eyewear sales are separate from medical eye care, our glasses and lens recommendations are connected to your full eye health assessment. We carefully select quality lenses, coatings, and frames that support clear, comfortable vision and long-term eye health.

Eye Care

Comprehensive care for every stage.

01

Comprehensive Eye Exams

A complete 45-60 minute exam with prescription, retinal health, and prevention guidance.
02

Children & Pediatric Eye Care

Gentle visits for children, with clear guidance for parents and OHIP coverage notes.

Emergency Eye Care

Myopia, or nearsightedness, means your child can see things up close but has trouble seeing far away. In many children, myopia gets worse every year as the eyes grow.

07

Diabetic Eye Exams

An eye-health assessment for people living with diabetes, with monitoring and referral when needed.

Are You Covered by OHIP for an Eye Exam?

Use our short questionnaire as a starting point for understanding OHIP eye exam coverage. Our team can confirm your eligibility and any fees before your visit.

Why Your Coverage Matters

Understanding your coverage can make planning your visit easier. Our team can explain direct billing options and help you check which services your plan covers.

Prevention is Key:

Regular exams catch early signs of glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy before vision loss begins.

Save on Out-of-Pocket Costs:

Many patients are surprised to find they qualify for annual provincial coverage.

Direct Billing Available:

If you aren't covered by OHIP, we seamlessly bill your private insurance (Sun Life, Manulife, etc.) on the spot.

Direct billing

One less thing to worry about.

We direct bill to major insurance providers so you can focus on your visit, not the paperwork.

Dr Zara was simply amazing! She was very professional. She was friendly and engaging with my son to make him comfortable to answer her questions. She understood my concerns for my son, was realistic and most efficient in a plan to manage his eye care. Made the necessary referrals. The office was relaxing, the staff was friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend !
