There are ways to slow down the progression of children's myopia and prevent future vision loss. York Finch Eye Associates, adjacent to the former Humber River Hospital (now named the Reactivation Care Centre), is a well-established ophthalmology practice that was founded by the late Dr. William Samis MD FRCSC in 1971.
Since its opening, YFEA has become a leader in both comprehensive and surgical eye care. The clinic incorporates multiple faculties including ophthalmology, optometry and neighbouring opticians (Gough Optical). YFEA also provides teaching opportunities for medical students interested in ophthalmology through The Eye Foundation of Canada.

The Eye Foundation of Canada is an independent not for profit organization headed by eye care professionals, members of the corporate community and patients who are committed to helping Canadians maintain and regain their sense of sight. The Eye Foundation of Canada is committed to educating and training the very best and brightest medical students early in their careers.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the difficulty seeing things far away. It usually occurs when the eyeball is too long, making objects in the distance out of focus. The longer the eyeball, the harder it is to see things that are far away. Myopia typically begins in childhood and is progressive over time stabilizing around our late teens to early 20s.
York Finch Eye Associates is conveniently located between Highway 400 and Jane Street (two lights west of Jane St or two lights east of Highway 400), on the south side of Finch Ave, adjacent to the now closed Humber River Hospital (Finch Site), recently renamed the Reactivation Care Centre. We are only accessible from Oakdale Road.

A old lady in the reception on the phone was very very to me and doesn’t want to help. I called in two days ago to follow up a referral appointment at sick kids and being told to call another office. The another office asked me to call sick kids. Sick kids said they never received referral and I have to call the office again. When I call the doctor office again, the lady picked up the phone blamed me about calling sick kids directly. I explained to her that I was told to call sick kids by somebody in the other office. She then told me that ‘this is my third time telling you and I am not going

Seneca, the celebrated Roman philosopher, statesman and dramatist (4BC-68 AD) once remarked that 'Nothing is more honourable than a grateful heart.'
As I muse on the words of wisdom enshrined in this golden thought it sparkles like a precious diamond in my mind and so it is against this lucent backdrop that I am taking the liberty of writing this 'Revised Review' of Dr.Steve Arshinoff who is not only a world leader who can perform sequential bilateral cataract surgery in which both eyes of the patient undergo the operation during the same session but ,in my humble view, 'an Angel of Humanity.

Judging by the dated interior of this facility, they've been around for awhile. I expected a smoother transition when it comes to setting up exams followed by surgery. The front desk is always rushing you in and out almost like they dont want to deal with you. The eye examiner (seems like a student) he brings you in just to brief you and he's basically redundant when it comes to answering questions. The doctor himself has no patience when dealing with you. And they have you go to 3 different facilities before getting the surgery done. I'm under the impression that there is a simpler solution to
