Comprehensive Eye Exams in Cambridge, ON
The exam that looks after everything.
A comprehensive eye exam is a full assessment of your vision and eye health — typically 30 to 45 minutes — that screens for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration before symptoms appear. At Boardwalk Eye Care it’s done by Dr. Sarah Fong, O.D., serving Cambridge and the surrounding Waterloo Region.

More than vision
Why regular eye exams matter
A routine exam is one of the most effective ways to catch eye conditions early — often before you’d notice a change yourself. To do that with confidence, we rely on advanced diagnostic technology, including high-resolution retinal imaging.
Glaucoma
Often develops silently, with no early symptoms — routine pressure and health checks help catch it sooner.
Diabetic eye changes
Diabetes can quietly affect the blood vessels in the eye, which a thorough exam can help detect.
Macular degeneration
Age-related changes to central vision are easier to monitor and manage when found early.
Signs of broader health
The eye is the one place we can see blood vessels directly — so an exam can surface clues to wider health concerns.
