GEM Clinic will continue to follow COVID-19 safety protocols after March 15, 2022 along with provincial health-care facilities

On your next appointment, please:

Do not come if you are sick. Call or email to rebook.
Wear a mask.
Do not arrive early.
Patients ONLY allowed in the clinic, unless they need assistance.

Surgery Cancellations

Cataract surgeries are backlogged due to staff redeployment and reduced operating capacity at Misericordia Health Centre during the pandemic. We do care about your eye health and appreciate your patience as we work to clear the backlog.

We encourage you to contact your MLA, the Minister of Health and Seniors Care, and the Premier to express your concerns about the backlog and to push for more investment in eyecare.

We encourage all Manitobans to get vaccinated to help keep the community safe.

Emergency Request

If you are a patient of GEM Clinic and you have an eye emergency, call our office during office hours for an urgent appointment. If it is after hours or on the weekend, or you are not a patient of GEM Clinic, please go to the Misericordia Health Centre (open 24/7 for eye emergencies) or your nearest emergency department..
