I had a consultation with a less reputable LASIK center about a year ago, truth be told the price came in lower than Boston Laser but everything about it seemed sketchy (my entire eye exam was about 8 minutes and felt like something done in a middle school gym class performed by a salesman.) I held out, saved a little more and came to Boston Laser. The experience and expertise was evident and reassuring (although I did get hit with a gimmicky sales pitch anyway, although I already had made up my mind before that happened.) 10 days out now and my vision has been great since the procedure. I've had barely any side effects (halos lasted only two days, nothing other than that.) So far I can say I'm very happy with the results!

I got PRK on Friday. Today is Tuesday, so it's been four days. My vision is still blurry as expected, but it's getting better everyday. The assistants and doctor (Brenner) I interacted with were all great. The fellow has had a tired energy the two times I've interacted with her, but I think she's doing a fine job. It's easy to reach out to them if you have a question (they give you your doctor's cell as well as Dr. Melki's, though I didn't use them). There's an online patient portal that you can use to e-mail your questions; I used this once after my evaluation to ask Dr. Brenner a question, and he responded the next day.It's not like they provide a very personal service; it feels like a place where they try to do as many procedures as they can since it brings in money, but not to the point that they will be careless with your care. I think they did a good job with my eyes; I'm not fully healed, but I'm healing more and progressing everyday.My PRK procedure ended up costing $4900 ($1000-off promotion for the start of the year) with an optional $495 lifetime insurance, which I was told that 70% of people opt to get. Only 3% of people need touch-ups, which is included in the initial cost.Their website has a good Q&A section where Dr. Melki has answered lots of questions. They also give you some reading material at your free evaluation. I appreciate that they try to educate their patients.On the day of my procedure, they gave me written instructions for my eye drops (which I couldn't read too well for two days afterward - just a heads-up to plan ahead), some ill-fitting sunglasses, and a Boston Laser t-shirt. During the procedure, I was given a choice of holding an elephant or a sloth stuffed animal (I chose both!). The procedure lasted about 12 minutes.It's not cheap, but paying a lot of money makes me feel like I'm using a quality service?? They're also affiliated with MEEI and have fellows working there, so it's in their interest to provide good service and protect their reputation. I've had a good (albeit short) experience with them so far!Disclosure: I have an extra incentive to leave a review because when you write a review, you get entered into a drawing to win $150 toward a pair of sunglasses (which I don't have because I've always worn eyeglasses, so I didn't really wear sunglasses over them). But that didn't affect the kind of rating/review I gave.

The staff is amazing in both locations Brookline and Wellesley Dr Brenner is an excellent Dr. He takes his time explaining what he is going to do in a friendly manner and give constructive feedback. When I reached out to scheduled an appointment, they immediately call me back with an appointment and time for my DURYSTA ocular implant which control my eye pressure. In less the 15 minutes Dr. Brenner numb my eye placed it directly in my eye with no discomfort whatsoever and I went home. He was very thorough before and after the implant. I highly recommend Boston Vision, Dr.Brenner, Dr Melki and Dr. Macie Finkelstein.

There should be a 6 star button. I went to the medford office for a consultation on monday. I was actually scheduled for surgery on that friday!!! Met with Dr Brenner on wendesday and he went over the process. Walked the door Friday morning surgery was done in 15 mins,now i can see better than i could with corrective lenses. Honestly nothing could have been better, from being able to book my own appointment online, to the ease of the staff at the clinic.I apologize to the staff in the procedure room because as soon as i opened my eyes i saw the eye chart on the ceiling, and yelled out holy sh&#@ because i could see it. Thank you Boston laser i just wish i had done this 10 years ago
