We're thrilled to share some exciting news: Vision Care Woodward is now open and welcoming patients. Located at 1818B Woodward Drive, our newest clinic is the third location to join the Vision Care family. It brings the same expert, personalized eye care Ottawa has trusted since 1987 to a central, easy-to-reach part of the city.

A space designed around you

From the moment you walk in, Vision Care Woodward feels a little different. We designed the clinic with warm natural materials and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s a space that feels less like a typical eye clinic and more like somewhere you'd actually want to spend time. But the look and feel is only part of the story. What matters most is the care, and our Woodward team brings the same thorough, unhurried approach our patients know us for.

Comprehensive care, brand new clinic

Vision Care Woodward offers the full range of services available across our clinics, including:

  • Comprehensive eye and vision exams for all ages
  • Children's eye care and myopia control
  • Dry eye assessment and treatment
  • Contact lens fittings and exams
  • Designer eyewear and sunglasses (including Meta, Miu Miu, and Oakley among others)

Whether it's your child's first eye exam or a specialized dry eye treatment plan, our optometrists and opticians are here to help you see and feel your best.

"We've been caring for Ottawa families for nearly four decades, and opening Woodward felt like a natural next step," says Dr. Joelle Zagury. "We wanted to create a space that feels calm and welcoming the moment you walk in. We can't wait to welcome our central Ottawa neighbours."

Easy to find, with free parking

One of the things we love most about our new home is how easy it is to get to. Vision Care Woodward sits just south of Highway 417 near the Maitland overpass, so it's simple to reach from just about anywhere in the city. There's ample free parking right on site (no meters or time limits) and the clinic is fully accessible for mobility aids. OC Transpo stops are within walking distance as well.

HOURS:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Wednesday 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Closed weekends
