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.
Specialized Diagnostic Testing
Early detection is key to protecting your vision. We use high-resolution imaging and advanced testing, such as corneal topography, axial length (biometry), digital retinal photography, and visual field analysis, to identify conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye changes before they become serious.
Dry Eye Treatment
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.
Eye Surgery Co-Management
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
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.
Step 2
Atropine Eye Drops:
Prescription drops that relax the eye’s focusing mechanism to slow myopia progression.
Step 3
Multifocal Lenses:
Designed with different zones to support clear vision and slow progression.
Step 4
Specialty Myopia Control Lenses
Glasses with advanced lens technology to help control eye growth.
More about Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Clear vision while you sleep.
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?
Daytime Freedom:
Perfect for active lifestyles, sports, or anyone who wants to be glasses-free during the day.
Dry Eye Friendly:
Worn overnight, reducing exposure to allergens and dryness from daytime lens wear.
Non-Surgical:
A reversible alternative to LASIK.
Myopia Control:
Proven to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children.
No guesswork. Just expert care.
