Specialty Eye Care in Cambridge

At Boardwalk Optical, we understand that some eyes need more than just a prescription update. Led by Dr. Sarah Fong, our clinic offers advanced specialty eye care services for patients managing specific conditions or seeking more personalized solutions.

Advanced Vision Care for Complex Needs

Whether you’re navigating myopia progression in your child, coping with chronic dry eye, or managing a diagnosed eye disease, we provide expert care with compassion, clarity, and the latest technology.

Early detection is key to protecting your vision. We use advanced tools like corneal topography, axial length, digital retinal photography, and visual field analysis. Our visual field machine helps detect neurological disorders (tumors), track visual field loss, and is used for police/enforcement work and MTO evaluations. Corneal topography is essential to detect keratoconus, evaluate post-surgical corneas, and assess irregular corneas with precision.

Chronic dry eye can cause discomfort, blurred vision, and irritation. Using diagnostic tools like the TOPCON MYAH, we identify the root cause of your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan, including in-office therapies, targeted drops, and lifestyle guidance, for lasting relief.

Planning for LASIK or cataract surgery? Dr. Fong provides full pre- and post-operative support, working closely with local ophthalmologists to ensure smooth care throughout your surgical journey—from candidacy screening to healing follow-up.

Slowing Nearsightedness with Proven, Personalized Care

Myopia Management

What Is Myopia?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, means seeing clearly up close but having blurry distance vision. It happens when the eye grows longer than normal or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina. This condition often begins in childhood and can progress over time.

When It Progresses Most:



Children and teens between 6 and 17 years old experience the fastest changes, with the early teen years often seeing the most rapid progression. Genetics, screen time, and less time outdoors can all play a role.

How We Manage It

Dr. Fong creates personalized myopia control plans using proven treatments, including:

Step 1

Orthokeratology:

Special contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea, giving clear vision all day without glasses or contacts.

We fit Abiliti™ Overnight Therapeutic Lenses when clinically appropriate.

Step 2

Atropine Eye Drops:

Prescription drops that relax the eye’s focusing mechanism to slow myopia progression.

Treatment is simple, just one drop at bedtime and is safe when monitored with regular follow-up visits.

Step 3

Multifocal Lenses:

Designed with different zones to support clear vision and slow progression.

They are a comfortable daytime option, easy to adapt to, and a good choice for active kids and teens who prefer contact lenses to glasses.

Step 4

Specialty Myopia Control Lenses

Glasses with advanced lens technology to help control eye growth. We provide MiSight® 1 day contact lenses, as well as specialized spectacle lenses including MiyoSmart™ lenses (HOYA) and Stellest™ lenses (Essilor).

Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, uses custom-fitted contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea. You wake up with clear vision all day, no glasses, no daytime contacts. It’s safe, reversible, and one of the most effective methods available for slowing myopia progression in children.

Most patients see results within a week of nightly wear (6–8 hours of sleep is ideal). The effects are temporary, so lenses must be worn regularly to maintain clear vision.

Why choose it?

No guesswork. Just expert care.
