Eye Care in South Surrey: Services, Walk-In Visits, and How to Book

Boardwalk Optometry serves South Surrey and White Rock from a clinic at (604) 531-4274, offering comprehensive eye exams for all ages, dry eye and myopia control treatment, contact lens fitting, an optical boutique, and onsite hearing services. No referral is needed, and walk-ins are welcome. You can book by phone or through the clinic's online appointment request form. The same practice also runs a Guildford location at (604) 589-7311, which is the better choice if you are closer to that side of Surrey.

What Services Are Available

The clinic describes itself as a family-run practice that has served Surrey and White Rock since 1989, with two generations of optometrists. Its listed services cover routine and advanced care:

• Comprehensive eye exams for all ages, including early detection and ongoing monitoring of cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, using diagnostic technology.
• Dry eye clinic for specialized treatment.
• Myopia control for patients who need it.
• Contact lens clinic with fitting and care for all lens types, starting with daily disposables.
• Optical boutique with prescription glasses, sunglasses, and custom lenses.
• Hearing tests, offered onsite at the South Surrey clinic.
• Binocular vision therapy, plus products such as ocular supplements and eye drops.

If your reason for visiting is a routine check, a specific concern like dry or irritated eyes, or a contact lens fit, all of these fall within the services the clinic lists. For anything outside that list, call ahead to confirm.

Do You Need a Referral? Can You Walk In?

No referral is needed, and walk-ins are welcome according to the clinic's site. That said, booking ahead is the safer route if you want a specific time or have a longer concern to discuss, since walk-in availability depends on the day's schedule. Calling the South Surrey line at (604) 531-4274 is the quickest way to check current wait times or same-day openings.

How to Book an Appointment

1. Choose your preferred location: South Surrey/White Rock or Guildford.
2. Call the matching number — (604) 531-4274 for South Surrey, (604) 589-7311 for Guildford — or use the "Request Appointment" option on the clinic's website.
3. If you book online, expect a follow-up from the clinic to confirm the date and time; a request form is not an instant confirmed booking.
4. Bring your current glasses or contacts and any relevant health information to the exam.

Ordering Contact Lenses

The clinic has a separate online contact lens order form. You select your preferred location, supply duration (3 to 24 months), brand (Acuvue, Alcon, Bausch & Lomb, Cooper Vision, or other), and enter base curve and prescription details for each eye. You must also complete a consent declaration confirming the information is accurate before submitting. Have your prescription on hand before starting — the form asks for specific sphere and cylinder values, so an expired or missing prescription will stall the order.

Choosing Between South Surrey and Guildford

Both locations offer the core eye care services. The practical difference is hearing services, which the site lists only for South Surrey, and travel distance. If you need a hearing test alongside your eye exam, book South Surrey.

Practical Tips Before You Go

• Confirm your coverage. The site does not publish pricing or billing details, so ask about fees and insurance when you call rather than assuming anything is covered.
• Note the walk-in caveat. Walk-ins are welcome, but a booked appointment reduces waiting, especially for dry eye assessments or contact lens fittings that take longer.
• Use the right form. Appointment requests and contact lens orders are separate processes; submitting a lens order does not book you an exam.
• Check the current hours. The site does not list opening hours in the material reviewed, so verify by phone before visiting.
