I had Lasik eye surgery last Friday with doctor Brenner and was very happy with the procedure. The process was very efficient and staff were nice and friendly. Procedure was a great success.

A few minutes after I arrived, I was brought into a room and given eye drops to expand my cornea and numb the eyes. The doctor came in to verify the distance that I would like to have in both eyes, then I waited for the drops to take place. In the operating room, they shined a very bright light in my eye and told me to look at it. The procedure was uncomfortable, but there was little pain. Im also very squeamish so Im sure I didnt make it easy for them. Each eye only took a few minutes and I was out very quickly. Although initially I couldnt see out of one of my eyes, my vision came back within a few minutes. My eyes were blurry that day, but that was because of the drops. The next morning I could see very well. Over the next week my eyes felt dry, or like I left my contacts in for too long, but this gradually went away. Im still experiencing halos, however I feel this is a small price to pay for the 20/15 vision I now have (from -10 diopters before). Overall the team was very professional and the operation was over quickly and the results were great.

My experience was great! I did PRK in both eyes, and I feel like I can see the whole world now. The procedure itself was a little uncomfortable and the healing process wasnt as easy as I thought. But, after being healed, I 100% would recommend! Dr. Melki and his team did amazing.

I had LASIK done at Boston Vision about 4 months ago and Im beyond thrilled with the resultsmy vision is now 10/10! The staff was incredibly professional and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. The procedure was quick and smooth, and the recovery was easier than I expected. I wish I had done this sooner! Highly recommend Boston Vision to anyone considering LASIK.

Boston Vision in Brookline: I was able to book my evaluation appointment just 5 days out. I came in on Friday. It is a busy day in the Brookline office, as many surgeries being performed. We did about 4 various eye checks, including cornea thickness and the vision itself. I got to see a doctor, who told me my cornea was good enough for LASIK, but it is advised for me to proceed with PRK (some professions or involvement into combatives make PRK safer). ICL was not ideal as my vision only -2 (they prefer ICL when you are -3). After 3 hours there I left the office with no decision. I called on Monday to schedule for PRK. We booked for Friday same week and now I was to sign the consent and pay the fees (some circumstances allow the discount). Tuesday, I paid with cash and card, combined, through the office and expressed my uncertainty about PRK of LASIK. I was told that I can still switch last minute on the day of surgery. Night prior to surgery, I had clinics phone numbers written easily accessible and medication purchased: Extra-Strength Tylenol, Vitamin C. (After the surgery clinic will issue Artificial Tears and Prednisolone drops) Friday - SURGERY. I ate few bananas and asked a friend to be my driver (you must have someone you know). In clinic we did just 2 eye checks from the eval, to make sure all still good to go. I talked with the surgeon (different doctor, not from eval) and he made me sure to carry on with PRK. I was offered Xanox, to calm down. 2 hours after arrival I was invited into surgery room. I received numbing drops and braces for my eyes to keep them open. Couple minutes later I got another drops, and doctor did some tool contact with right eye. Now, you must keep looking for a green light. They lowered the laser above my right eye and let it do its thing for about 10 second. After laser was done, doctor placed a protective lense in the eye and repeated the whole process with the left one. Left eye was slightly more sensitive, but only to touching. No pain was felt in neither of the eyes. I spent about 10 minutes total in that room, And then I was sent home. Ride home I could see close as 20/20. I took meds and fell asleep as soon as I made it but woke up 5h later due to one of the protective lenses shifted. Not going to lie - it felt like a glass was under my eye lid. I readjusted the lense by carefully massaging the eye lid and fell asleep. (lenses will be removed by doctor on 1 week follow up, but could fall out before apparently) Next morning there is a one day follow up (Ive been sleeping like 17 hours). I was told that I am recovering great, but Id say my vision dropped from 20/20. Sunday, 48 hours since surgery, my vision got pretty blurry and light sensitive. I got pressure in the forehead and little burning in the eyes. I was napping all day. Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday, I gradually began to get better. I take medication as prescribed, can use devices and drive. Looking forward to one-week follow up on Friday. Conclusion: Different circumstances may dictate what procedure to go with. PRK has the longest recovery, but by the end of the day it will get you to desired result. It took me just 2 weeks from first contacting the clinic to now having almost 20/20. I will update you if something is odd. But as of right now, I am satisfied with this procedure and Boston Vision!
