I've been coming to Boston Vision for 4 years now and I really like it. I can see the same Dr. each year and the other technicians are all pleasant and knowledgeable. I was seen within 15 minutes of arrival. I was informed about each step along the way and offered additional treatment options where appropriate. I like the feel of Boston Vision and feel I am getting the right care.

Base on my personal experience from consultation in Milford ma to surgery in Brookline to recovery:Consultation appt was done in Milford closer to home. Location was great, staffs were really friendly, wait time can be long as it seemed that they were trying to fit in as many patients as possible.Dr Patel was pleasant and the assistants were all helpful and friendly. However, I felt rushed by my appointment. The following up email from the lasik team was always very efficient and helpful guidance to what to expect, videos of the procedure, the dos and donts for recovery and other additional information were sent out by email. The lasik team was able to answer questions via email. I felt a bit more at ease knowing what to expect from the surgery.A month before the surgery date, I was informed that my doctor wont be doing my surgery. I have had to reschedule my surgery. It was a bit unexpected since I have already taken those dates off from my workplace.Anyhow, I was able to get my surgery done a week before my original appointment. It was done by Dr Brenner instead.On Monday of my surgery week, I received my surgery time and more details by email.Brookline location :Parking can be a pain especially there isnt any designated parking lot for Boston Vision. Meters are everywhere so you can park on the street.Upon arrival, there was a bit of waiting time. Then more testings done. Met with Dr Brenner after one or two testings. They finalized and corrected something important in the contract regarding of my right eye being the distance eye and left eye to be the eye for reading since I was doing mono vision lasik.Dr Brenner was nice and easy to talk to. Answered a couple of my concerns and questions.From then on, they asked me to sit in the waiting area and to be called in for surgery.Then an assistant came back and ask me to re do one of the eye exams coz they didnt get the results or right readings.Went back to re do the test then I was being asked to sit in the lounge room to be called for the surgery.Snacks and water or drinks were provided.As I walked into the surgical room, lots of bright lights above me. I laid down on a flat bed and immediately the assistants put some numbing eye drops on my eyes.Everything kind of just went really fast. One after an other. My left eye definitely needed more numbing drops as I asked. So they went to my right eye and started there first. I could see the whole procedure. Tool to open my eye lids and kept them open. I think they said it took about 12 mins for both eyes.But the most traumatic experience I had was with the left eye, I could feel the pressure pressing against my eye, the blurred vision as they lifted up the flap, the smoking or burning smell of the lasik when I stared at the green dots or light, the tool they adjust the flap back on.I could feel it all. But the right eye not so much, just the huge pressure and the blurry vision.After the procedure was over, I was guided to the other room, and out the waiting room already.I was given written instructions to follow up the day of, the day after to a week of what to avoid and what to do for recovery process.Eye drop medication to apply, Artificial tear drops, eye shields and protection sunglasses too all including in the take home kit.The first night was the hardest, no face wash and avoid water in the eyes.Slept with the eye shield and applied eye medication.I would recommend to stick with everything that they told you! Its been finally a week, my vision is still a bit blurry but 20/20 vision according to Dr Patel (from the one week follow up appt). Needs to be patient with the healing process.Overall, I am glad I did it despite the discomfort and inconvenience for a couple of weeks or months.
