Access to reliable eye care is essential for wellness, learning, and community participation. But many First Nation and Indigenous communities across Ontario face challenges such as long travel distances, limited transportation, and a shortage of local optometry services.
Optician On Wheels Corp. provides a solution designed specifically for these needs.
We bring mobile eye exams, eyewear fittings, and prescription safety glasses directly to First Nation communities across Ontario, ensuring everyone receives culturally safe, accessible, and high-quality care — right where they live.
