Optometry and Eye Care Clinic Space
An optometry practice is part clinic and part store. You need exam rooms long enough for testing, space for pre-testing and diagnostic equipment, a bright dispensary for frames, and frontage where people walking or driving by will notice you.
Health care is where my career started. I was Director of Standards at Metropolitan General Hospital and managed the Department of Medicine at McMaster's Faculty of Health Sciences, and I am a Certified Health Executive. I help optometrists and eye care practices find, lease and buy space across Hamilton, Burlington, Halton and Niagara, whether you are opening a first practice, buying an existing one or moving to a better location.

What an Optometry Practice Needs
Exam room length. A traditional refraction lane needs about 6 metres (20 feet); a mirror or digital chart can shorten it. I check room dimensions before you commit to a space.
Visibility and frontage. Street-front and plaza units bring in walk-in eyewear sales. Signage rights matter as much as square footage.
Power, data and plumbing. Diagnostic equipment needs dedicated circuits and data, and a contact lens area needs a sink.
Exclusivity. In a plaza, ask for an exclusive on optometry and eyewear, so a competitor cannot open next door.
Accessibility and parking. Many patients are older, and patients whose eyes have been dilated may need a ride. Step-free entry, drop-off space and close parking matter.
The real monthly cost. Net rent, TMI, utilities, HST, tenant allowances and free rent together decide what you actually pay. I compare spaces on total cost, so you go to your bank with a realistic budget.
