    Overall, I am pleased with my experience with Boston Vision LASIK surgery was something I was looking forward to for a few years. Finally, I received a vote of confidence from my optometrist (not at Boston Vision) and they highly recommended I go to Boston Vision. After an initial, long consult at their Malden office, I was scheduled for surgery at their Brookline office, as they said this was the only office that performed surgery on Fridays. Leading up to the appointment, I was not too nervous. I had all of my questions answered ahead of time, so my mood was more excited than anything. Once there, they performed a quick check of my eyes and I waited no more than 10 minutes to be seen by their staff. Initially, I was led to a room where they checked my eyes once more, previewed the upcoming procedure, and offered me a Xanax to calm my nerves. Then, Dr. Brenner arrived to check my eyes once more. By this point, this felt a little tedious, but better safe than sorry, I suppose. Everything looked good to him, so we waited a short time (assumably for the Xanax to kick in) and then I was led to the operating room. In the OR, you will be asked to lay flat on your back, while their staff plays whatever music you would like. This was a nice touch and helped to relax me. For the procedure, there was more discomfort than I anticipated. The suction necessary for the procedure did create a lot of pressure, causing blood vessels in my right eye to pop. However, the saving grace here is the procedure is very quick. As promised, it took around 15 minutes. Once it was over, I was escorted to a room across the hall where a doctor viewed my eyes to ensure the flap created during the surgery looked flat and settled. Everything looked good to them, so I was sent home. Once home, a strong burning sensation kicked in. It made it difficult to fall asleep for the recommended four hours, so I did take some melatonin. Once I woke up, the discomfort went down immensely. My left eye felt perfect and its vision was nearly as perfect. My right eye, however, felt scratchy, a bit dry, and cloudy. As expected, however, as it was still the same day as surgery. Even so, looking outside, my vision was the clearest I can remember it ever being. It was an emotional experience. I am on day four post-operation now. My left eye continues to feel great. However, my right eye still remains hazy and slightly irritated. I have a follow-up appointment with my optometrist tomorrow and I am curious what they will see. For now, I am looking forward to my eyes continuing to heal and seeing fully in 20/20 vision without cloudiness/haziness. Hopefully in the next few days!

    I had an amazing experience and used the Wavelight Plus technology that Boston Vision is the only provider of in the area. Surgery was prompt, fast and easy. After the 4 hour nap I was able to see well. Within 24 hours I had 20/15 vision. I am a week in now and my vision is great. The only side effect is dry eyes that have already been getting better. I 1000% recommend getting lasik with Boston Vision

    The whole prep experience was really fantastic- I felt well supported through the examination and procedure selection process. The day of surgery I felt well taken care of- everyone seemed to be very well versed in their roles and things went smoothly. The procedure itself was quick and painless. I had no discomfort until day 2 where I felt like I wanted to rip my eyes out. This is primarily my own fault for not getting ahead of the pain like I was instructed to do. As someone who has had an ACL reconstruction, several passed kidney stones and a Lithotripsy, I really thought this wouldnt be a big deal and boy was I wrong. The more you can keep your eyes closed the better. Stay on top of the pain and use those eye drops like theyre going out of style. By day 4 I was out of pain and just experiencing some mild dryness and intermittent blurriness. It took about 3 days for my pupils to regulate out of dilation, so I strongly recommend sunglasses indoors and out. My vision prior to PRK was -3.75 with an astigmatism, by day 4 I was already experiencing improved vision. Definitely an undertaking and would highly recommend taking off work for a week unless you have an easy phon-it-in job in which case you can probably return day 4 or 5 post op. Overall five stars.

    Mass Eye And Ear almost caused me to lose my sight. They want to operate on me that they said couldve caused me to go blind for 30 days or more. I decided to get a second opinion I came here and you all are the best eye doctor Ive ever had and 55 years of me living you all had my eye pressure lowered from 28 back to normal Mass Eye And Ear had my pressure go from 14 to 17 from 17 to 20 to 2028 in two weeks, you are lowered my pressure from 28 down to 20 and I would never stop coming here. You are a blessing in my life.
