Having PRK surgery is not for the feint of heart. It is on the one hand the most selfish thing you might ever do for yourself (and you deserve it!) and on the other, the most unfamiliar and life altering bodily experience youll ever have. Do not take recovery lightly! I personally was out of work for a week as I continued to have blurred vision even after the healing lenses came out.I also recommend having a go-to support person that will be able to drive you to and from the surgery (I took an uber there) and then to and from your next day appt as well as your 5 day post op appointment (I took ubers here too) as this is extremely important in navigating your first week. For me, I was lucky to have a supportive husband that would help me stay on top of my meds and help me feel comfortable during a time when you feel out of your skin. If you can call on someone beforehand and have them planned to be there for you, I promise you wont regret it.The different tests and appointments can seem overwhelming but lean into the technology and know that you are getting the best of the best laser treatment with a top notch team. While I wish I would have planned to be off work for a week post-surgery, I dont regret my decision and know that this blurriness is in fact temporary and I will slowly get my vision back.P.S. Audio books, podcasts and listening to your favorite movies of all time will bring you comfort throughout the days.

The staff at the Boston Vision Brookline office are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. My eye health exam was quick and easy.

John helped me choose beautiful frames that I love and are very flattering. The quality of the lenses and his customer service are unsurpassed. On top of it all, John offers quality, timely, and warm service at a reasonable price. Go to his store for a great selection and even better service.

One week post LASIK - Delighted with my results and overall experience at Boston Vision.I was nervous leading up to the surgery, most for the surgery itself, and the possibility of having permanent dry eye.I thought the staff were professional throughout. It was comforting to meet Dr. Melki beforehand. You can see why he is so well renowned.I found the procedure was quite unpleasant - particularly the pressure to keep your eye from moving. I was in the operating room for around 20 minutes. Once completed, I went into the next room for a check up and given the all clear.I kept my eyes closed in bed for 4 hours, listening to podcasts. 2 hours into this period i noticed I could already see really well. My eyes were uncomfortable, but nowhere near as bad as I thought they would feel.The next morning I could see perfectly and my eyes felt like they never had the operation. I could see the contours on the moon and details of a plane flying past.Day 3, my eyes were very dry. I was back to work, where there is a lot of cleaning products (in the bathroom, etc.) I was worried they would feel that dry for weeks/months to come. I took drops every hour.Day 4 5, my eyes felt much better. Hardly used the drops. Twice a day and it didnt feel like I really needed them.Overall, extremely pleased with the results and my decision to get LASIK with Dr. Melki at Boston Vision.

I had LASIK at the Boston Vision location in Brookline on 9/12/25. Its been less than a week and I was told today that my vision is now 20/20 and expected to improve. I keep wanting to take my contacts out at night as I am not used to being able to see without them. So far I am very happy.
