The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care pays up to 75% of the cost of low-vision aids through the Assistive Devices Program (ADP). Low-vision aids include handheld and glasses-mounted magnifying aids; high-power glasses or lenses; light filtering lenses; and technology such as large-print computers and text-to-voice technology.
Registered authorizers determine if you are eligible for coverage under this program. Some optometrists are both registered authorizers and approved vendors, meaning you can receive your ADP funding and vision services in one place.
