Lunsky Optometry
Welcome to Lunsky Optometry, a family run optometric practice spanning three generations of service in the Bathurst St and College St area.
Our staff consists of Doctors Eric and Marvin Lunsky (Retired) and our Office Manager.
Accepted Methods of payment
We evaluate the refractive state of the eye (i.e. measuring the exact prescription for glasses or contacts)
as well as the health of the eye, including screening for cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration.
We dispense contact lenses from all major manufacturers. For those who have never worn contact lenses and
are looking to try them, we provide contact lens fittings. We will find you the lenses that produce the clearest most comfortable vision. We will teach you proper lens care and handling techniques, and monitor your progress. We also stock emergency and trial lenses for our patients.
We have been providing quality eyeglasses at affordable prices to our patients for over 80 years.
Our dispensary has a wide range of frame styles, including many designer and magnetic clip-on frames.
We also have a huge selection of "retro" frames, some of which date back over 70 years. Just ask!
We co-manage our patients who get LASIK refractive surgery, both pre and post-operatively. We also provide referrals for patients requiring cataract surgery and continue their care post-surgically.
In 1933 Louis Lunsky opened an optometry practice, not long after optometry had become a regulated health profession in Ontario. He offered people in the College St. and Bathurst St. area of downtown Toronto comprehensive eye examinations, glasses and if the mood was right, a joke, which Louis laughed at a lot more than the person he was telling it to.
Eventually Louis was joined by his son, Marvin who continued the family tradition. Twenty-five years later Marvin's son Eric joined the practice and the two remain there to this day.
Much has changed in the profession of optometry in the past 80 years, with advancements in ocular health assessment, treatment, contact lenses, photorefractive surgery, etc.. So in that way Lunsky Optometry has changed quite a bit too. But the values that guided Louis back then, still remain. We still offer comprehensive eye examinations, taking the time to treat patients the way we'd want to be treated ourselves. And a joke if you're in the right mood.
Eric is a graduate of the University of Waterloo's school of Optometry and has been working in the eye care field for over 25 years. He has long made it his policy to take his time with every patient, making certain they understand the current state of their eyes and whatever treatment options are available to them. If requested, he will also offer opinions on the latest movies or any of Toronto's professional sports teams.
Dr. Marvin Lunsky has Retired from practising optometry, but he still comes into the office from time to time, usually on Monday or Saturday mornings to chat with and entertain the patients. Lastly (though sadly) he is still a passionate Toronto Maple Leafs fan.
