A copy of this form can be obtained by phoning the co-ordinator at 416-813-7015, 416-813-8375, or 416-813-6838.
The referring doctor can fax the required information to the eye clinic, at 416-813-6261. Copies of any other relevant information can be faxed at the same time.
Alternatively the form and accompanying information can be mailed to the Eye Clinic at:

The patient or patient's family is then contacted with an appointment date. In almost all cases the appointment is co-ordinated with an orthoptic (eye muscle testing) visit prior to seeing the doctor.
Due to long wait lists for appointments, in appropriate cases alternative specialists may be recommended.
