    As a long term contact/glasses wearer, I have wanted LASIK since I was in high school and I am so glad I finally was able to have the procedure done. The doctors, nurses, and staff at Boston Vision are top tier and were so kind and helpful during my time with them. They answered all of my questions during my consultation and procedure and helped to put my worries at ease.The day of the procedure I was excited and nervous. They ran a couple of tests to make sure everything was good to go and 30ish minutes and a Xanax later I was ready to ditch my glasses and contacts for good. The procedure itself is pretty daunting but it only lasted about 15 minutes. They do everything they can to help you relax including allowing you to pick they music to listen to, choosing the light colors of one of the machines, and giving you a stress (eye)ball named Eye-rene. Most of what Id heard or read from the Boston Visions pamphlets happened to me. There was no pain but lots of pressure when cutting the flap in the eye. (I saw fireworks of red, blue, and green during this portion which was kind of cool. Go cones and rods!) The laser requires you to stay as still as possible and then it was over. When I sat up from the bench everything was in focus but it looked like I was looking through a layer of Vaseline. They did one final check and then I was sent on my way home.The recovery process has been a breeze honestly. I took my 4 hour nap and stayed religious on my drops and Ive had very little discomfort, dryness, or itchiness. Over the course of the first day (day of surgery) my eyesight continued to improve and by day 2 I was back at work. My eyes do get tired a bit quicker than they did before the surgery but Im sure that as time goes on and they heal up more, that will remedy itself. For now I use artificial tears, take naps, or rest my eyes as much as possible to help.

    I'm a 34 year old woman who has worn glasses since I was a child, all day every day. Contacts have never been comfortable for me, so I was always wearing glasses.At the gym, it began to be difficult to wear them while sweating constantly, so I decided to go for it! From first consultation to completing the procedure, I got PRK in 2.5 weeks. Everything about Boston Vision was great to work with. I felt like they were very thorough and organized as well as kind while I was present. At the first consultation with Dr. Yao, they did all the tests to determine my eligibility, and recommended PRK based on my thinner corneas - same technology, same price, slightly different method. They were able to schedule the surgery for the next week (at a time that would be convenient for me). I had a medical concern that they were able to address directly, and I was able to speak with the surgeon, Dr. Brenner, about it at a pre-op appointment, which made me feel confident; they also gave me a preventative antibiotic. On the day of the procedure, I was in and out of the office in 90 minutes. The staff as well as the videos and materials prepared me well for what was going to happen, and it was easy and smooth. At the check up 24 hours after my surgery, the doctors said things were healing perfectly. I'm not 5 days out from my surgery and waiting for my final check up at day 7. I already got rid of all my old glasses and am feeling the freedom that comes from not having to wear them! It was really fun to, for the first time, purchase some regular, non-prescription sunglasses that I've worn lots as I recover. I'm grateful to all the staff at Boston Vision for this experience and the freedom that I'm experiencing already and will for decades to come!

    I had an overall great experience! After all of my research, I decided on Boston Vision even though it was a 2 hour drive each way. On the day of my appointment, we were at the office for about 3 hours. I was nervous even though I've been through eye muscle surgery three times in the past. I couldn't sleep the night before because I was so excited and anxious at the same time. I took the Xanax they offered, but it didn't seem to do enough since I was still shaky during the procedure. Everyone was so nice though and I felt taken care of! All of the directions and info they give about lasik was appropriate. The next day, things were still a little blurry and I'm seeing halos with lights, but I was already reading at 20/20 vision! Highly recommend Dr. Melki and Boston Vision!
