For over 40 years Dr. Boshnick has developed and maintained a cutting edge Optometric practice covering all types of vision care including non-surgical vision improvement, contact and scleral lens care, children’s vision and vision rehabilitation for the partially sighted.

Dr. Boshnick received his B.A. degree from the University of Miami and his Doctor of Optometry degree from the Southern College of Optometry. Dr. Boshnick went on to serve as a Captain in the U.S. Army Medical Service Corp during the Vietnam War. It was during this period that Dr. Boshnick gained experience in restoring vision to many of the troops who suffered vision loss due to ocular trauma.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Dr. Boshnick was asked by the Department of Defense to take care of the vision needs of members of the entire National Guard that was stationed in Miami-Dade County. For 6 months following this disaster, Dr. Boshnick examined and treated over 500 National Guard troops.

At the present time Dr. Boshnick has one of the largest specialty contact and scleral lens practices in North America. In addition, for over 20 years, Dr. Boshnick has been a clinical investigator for both the F.D.A. and several major contact lens manufacturers. In addition, Dr. Boshnick has lectured extensively throughout the United States and has authored a number of professional articles dealing with contact and scleral lenses, orthokeratology and corneal diseases.

Many of Dr. Boshnick's patients have lost significant vision due to glaucoma and macular degeneration. His specialty practice is associated with some of the best fellowship trained glaucoma, corneal and retinal specialists.
