COLOUR VISION not tested routinely in Ontario. Colour deficiency affects 1:255 females and 1:12 males.

Colour vision tests available on-line.

Ontario opticians usually dispense LIBRARY FRAMES to children instead of CABLE TEMPLES used in sports.

Parents should insist on CABLE TEMPLES for children's frames.(as is usual in Europe)..

Giving children library frames (which can be taken off easily) is absurd.. As well as falling off, the glasses often slip down the nose which means that the child is not looking through the optical centres of the lens..
