Guildford Eye Clinic · Surrey, BC
Clear, practical articles from the doctors at Guildford Eye Clinic. We write about eye exams, children's vision, myopia control, and the questions our Surrey patients ask us most.
Urgent eye care · Surrey
Which eye problems need the ER, which need a same-day optometrist visit, which can wait for a booked exam, what to do first, and how MSP applies to urgent visits.
Reviewed by Dr. Phil Xue, OD · October 13, 2026
Kids eye care · Surrey
What parents should look for: age-right testing, eye health not only the chart, MSP covered yearly, myopia tracking when glasses keep getting stronger, and when to call for urgent care.
Reviewed by Dr. Laura Lin, OD · October 9, 2026
Eye exam cost · MSP · BC
What MSP covers yearly for kids 18 and under and seniors 65 and over, what adults 19 to 64 pay, when a visit is medically necessary, and how insurance and add-ons work before you pay.

Myopia · Kids
What axial length is, how the no-touch scan works, whether it hurts, how often it is repeated, and what the numbers are used for.

Imaging · Exams
Yes, OCT is included in every comprehensive exam here. What the scan is, what it can catch early, how it feels, and how results are explained.

Children's vision · Pillar 1
The prescription is the symptom, not the disease. The real risk in myopia is the eye growing too long, and you cannot see that from the prescription alone. Why axial length, measured by biometry, is the number that matters.

Children's vision
Slowing a child's nearsightedness is a managed program, not a one-time fix. Here are the four pillars our Surrey program is built on: precise ocular biometry, risk assessment, customized treatment, and progression tracking.

Children's vision
If your child needs a stronger prescription every year, the real issue is the eye growing too long. Here is how myopia control can slow it down, the evidence-based options, and how our program works.
