Services Available at a White Rock / South Surrey Optometry Clinic

A full-service optometry clinic in this area typically covers more than a glasses prescription. Based on Boardwalk Optometry's service list, you can expect:

• Comprehensive eye exams for all ages, including routine checkups and advanced diagnostic testing. The clinic states it uses current diagnostic technology and monitors conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration over time.
• Contact lens clinic — expert fitting and ongoing care for all types of contact lenses, from daily disposables onward. You can also reorder lenses through the clinic's online order form.
• Dry eye clinic — specialized assessment and treatment for dry eye, a common reason people book outside a routine schedule.
• Myopia control — treatment aimed at slowing myopia progression, typically relevant for children and younger patients.
• Optical boutique — prescription glasses, sunglasses, and custom lenses.
• Hearing tests — available onsite at the South Surrey clinic, which is useful if you want vision and hearing checked in one visit.
• Other products and services listed include ocular supplements, eyelid health, and eye drops.

When to Book an Eye Exam

Book a routine exam if you have not had one recently, even without symptoms — the clinic frames its exams around early detection and ongoing monitoring of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration, which can progress quietly. Book sooner if:

• Your glasses or contact lens prescription feels outdated, or your vision has changed.
• You have persistent dry, gritty, or irritated eyes.
• You notice changes in vision, such as blurriness, flashes, or difficulty seeing at night.
• You want a contact lens fitting for the first time or want to switch lens types.
• A child in your family needs a first exam or myopia monitoring.

For anything sudden or severe, contact the clinic directly rather than waiting for a routine slot; the clinic's phone lines are the fastest route to guidance on urgency.

What to Expect and How to Choose a Clinic

A comprehensive exam generally involves a review of your history and symptoms, vision testing, and a check of eye health, with the clinic noting use of advanced diagnostic technology and monitoring for cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. If you wear contacts, a fitting appointment is separate from a general exam and includes measurements used in the lens order form (brand, base curve, power).
