GREAT NEWS today for patients left without eye care! @ONOptometrists are trusting the gov's promise that a FAIR deal is waitin to end their job action. I'll say it again. @fordnation & @celliottability make it a table worth being at! We CAN'T end up here again. #SaveEyeCare
Replying to @JILLSLASTWORD
Meanwhile, @celliottability says they're the ones waiting for optometrists to come to the table. But behind closed doors, @derabbie & the OAO haven't heard a PEEP in 2+ months. This table also costs each side $15K/DAY to be at. For that, it better be a table worth being at.

I hope that after the years of neglect, this time the negotiations are serious and resolve the issue. Optometrists deserve to be fairly reimbursed for the important work that they do. Hoping this will #SaveEyeCare.

Let's resume being the mild mannered Optometrists we were. Be nice. Though this may be just a 'pause' if negotiations don't go well. #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Ontario #Toronto #Canada #DougFord

Thank you to all who supported us, like my MPP, @CFifeKW , and the many other MPPs and citizens who understand the importance of eye care. We have paused our job action for as long as fair negotiations are underway. #saveeyecare @celliottability @fordnation

If @celliottability commits to what she said verbally that Optometrists won't need to subsidize eye exams, job action ends immediately. No blank cheque. Negotiations can start. @BobBaileyPC @TobyBarrettHN @PBethlenfalvy @WillBoumaBrant #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Ontario

Very simple ask I have shared w/my MPP since 2019 when we met. @lindseyepark We all went to school for 8 years to be eye docs. I returned from @NECO424 in Boston but many of my classmates stayed in the USA. Its time for Ontario to step up and stop #braindrain #SaveEyeCare #OHIP
One simple ask: don't force us to subsidize the amazing care that we provide. It's simply not sustainable and you are driving optometrists out of #Ontario. @RobinMartinPC @celliottability commit to what you said! #SaveEyeCare @CBCTBay @CBCSudbury @CBCLondon @CBCKW891

I have yearly optometrist appts because I suffered a retina detachment. Those appts are important. Prior to the detachment I had laser surgery on both eyes due to holes. Yearly appts ensure that any problems #Optometrists #onpoli #SaveEyeCare #OHIP #EyeCareIsHealthCare

Doug @fordnation and Christine @celliottability do not want to come to a deal with optometrists because it would either mean spending a whole lot of money to “catch up” or allow optometrist to “balance bill” which will be politically unpopular. That’s why they want to stall.
