At Boardwalk Optometry, we provide comprehensive vision care using advanced diagnostic tools to protect and preserve your eyesight at every stage of life. Whether it’s your child’s first eye exam, dry eye treatment, myopia control, or vision therapy — we’re here to help you see your best and feel your best.
Comprehensive Eye Exams for All Ages
Our eye exams go beyond vision correction. We assess the full visual system, detect early signs of disease, and tailor care to your individual needs and lifestyle. Every exam includes:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – to view retinal layers beneath the surface
Ultra-Widefield Retinal Imaging – to examine peripheral retinal health and detect signs of retinal detachment risk, such as thinning or lattice degeneration
Glaucoma and macular degeneration screening, intraocular pressure testing, and lens/cornea assessments
Dry eye screening and tear film evaluation
We also offer consultations and pre/post-operative care for cataract and laser vision correction.
🗣 Eye exams available in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Your child’s vision is key to their learning, development, and confidence. We follow the Canadian
Association of Optometrists’ guidelines:
First exam: 6–9 months
Second exam: 2–5 years
Annually after school age
Our pediatric eye exams include pupil dilation, evaluation of focusing ability and widefield
imaging of the retina when possible. We screen for early risk factors like amblyopia, eye
misalignment, and developmental delays in visual processing. Binocular vision testing is
included to support reading and learning success.
For adults over 65, we recommend annual eye exams to screen for age-related eye conditions such
as glaucoma, macular degeneration (AMD), and cataracts. Early diagnosis is essential for
protecting your vision and maintaining quality of life. We use advanced technologies like OCT
and ultra-widefield retinal imaging to detect early signs of glaucoma and track both dry and wet
AMD. For added precision, we offer Vita-Risk™
genetic testing to guide supplement recommendations and identify whether zinc-containing eye
vitamins may be harmful.
“One-size-fits-all” eye care isn’t good enough – we personalize your plan.
Eye Exams for Diabetics
Diabetes can cause silent, sight-threatening changes in the retina before symptoms appear. That’s
why we recommend diabetic eye exams every 6–12 months. Our technology detects macular edema,
bleeding, and early retinal changes not visible with standard exams. We work closely with your
family doctor, endocrinologist and ophthalmologist to support long-term ocular health.
How We Test for Glaucoma
All eye exams at Boardwalk Optometry include basic glaucoma screening. If suspicious optic nerves, elevated intraocular pressure, or a family history are present, further testing may be needed.
We use virtual reality visual field testing for a more comfortable experience, and a specialized OCT scan to detect early glaucoma changes before vision loss occurs.
If you have risk factors, we recommend annual comprehensive exams to protect your vision.
How We Test for Macular Degeneration
Our eye exams use specialized instruments to view the deeper layers of the macula, allowing us to detect early signs of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and monitor for progression to wet AMD. Early detection helps prevent vision loss.
Our doctors will guide you through the latest treatment and management options designed to slow the progression of AMD and preserve vision. For patients diagnosed with AMD, follow-up exams are recommended every 6 to 12 months.
Are Your Eye Vitamins Affecting Your Macular Degeneration?
Macular Degeneration Genetic Testing
While most patients with macular degeneration benefit from eye supplements, about 15% may experience worsening symptoms if their supplements contain zinc. At our clinics, we offer the Vita-Risk™ genetic test to identify patients who should avoid zinc based on their genetic profile.
Genetic testing enables more personalized and precise treatment plans — because when it comes to eye health, one size does not fit all.
Eye Emergencies & Urgent Appointments
Sudden changes in vision? Red, painful, or injured eye? Lost or broken glasses? We offer same-day
emergency eye care appointments for:
Flashes or floaters
Eye infections
Foreign body removal
Sudden vision loss
Contact lens complications
Broken or lost glasses
Call us – we’ll make sure you’re seen promptly.
Medications That Can Affect Vision
Many common medications can impact eye health. Our doctors provide targeted screening and
monitoring for patients taking:
Accutane
Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil)
Antidepressants & antihistamines
Tamoxifen
Corticosteroids
Hormone therapies (e.g. Arimidex, Letrozole)
We assess for early signs of retinal toxicity, dry eye, and optic nerve damage, and adjust care
plans as needed.
Visual Field Testing - Now More Comfortable Than Ever
What is a visual field test?
It measures peripheral vision and detects blind spots caused by eye diseases or
neurological issues. We use Olleyes™ Virtual Reality visual field testing, making the test:
More comfortable
Faster
Easy to perform – even for children or seniors
Conditions we monitor with visual field testing include:
