Optometrists are open for routine care and observe protocols to ensure a safe environment for patients and staff. If you have any questions, contact your optometrist's office or the Manitoba Association of Optometrists, 204-943-9811. We encourage patients to take care of all aspects of their health, including regular eye care.
