I had an incredible experience at Boston Vision for my LASIK surgery yesterday! The entire team was exceptionally helpful and answered every single inquiry, truly making me feel that no question is stupid. The procedure itself was super fast and the worst part I'd say is the anticipation in the waiting room. While the ride home afterward was definitely uncomfortable, following the recovery guidelines strictly is key. I made sure to take the recommended 4-hour nap immediately. Once I woke up from that nap, I was feeling so much better—the initial stinging and watering had decreased significantly. I am already seeing so much better on day 1 after surgery and highly recommend this to anyone that's thinking about doing it! Please feel free to reach out with ANY questions at all!

I had a great experience with Boston Vision. When looking into where to book for LASIK my main requirement was I wanted to be confident going into surgery that I had one of the best surgeons possible for the procedure. Reading about Dr. Melki's experience and qualifications was the deciding factor for choosing Boston Vision over any other establishment. The procedure itself was really quick, I had a lot of anxiety before and during but the staff was amazing at reassuring me and talking me through everything. My vision improved almost right away, and recovery was smooth. Dr. Dy completed my pre and post evaluations and was super nice and answered all my questions. Overall, definitely worth it—so nice not needing glasses or contacts anymore. My only regret is not investing in LASIK sooner.

The surgery was very quick (~10 mins) and I experienced only minor pain during it. The staff were exceptional and made sure that I was comfortable at all times. Post surgery, I did have more pain than expected but it lasted for less than an hour and when I awoke from my four hour nap, there was very little pain at all. I was able to go about my weekend plans with no issue. While I do have some lagging redness in one eye, it has improved some already and I have been advised that it is common and should be gone within a few more days. Overall, I have been very happy with the experience. The recovery is quick and I now have 20/15 vision. I would highly recommend.

Everything with Boston Vision was simple and painless. The initial consultation is scheduled very quickly once you reach out, so be prepared for this. You won't be waiting weeks or months for an appointment. The staff and docs are very thorough and explain everything in detail and are happy to answer an y questions you have. After all the initial testing we discussed options and determined the best plan of treatment for me. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I wasn't able to proceed. 9 months later I was ready and the follow up consult happened just as quickly. The LASIK surgery itself is was quick and painless. There was a bit of discomfort once home because my eye (only had one done) was watering so much, but within a couple hours that was done and no more discomfort. Didn't even need to take Tylenol or Advil. My vision was better the same day of the surgery. It is awesome to be able to read everything on my phone on the smallest font without reading glasses. Grocery shopping the next day was better because I could read all the vegetale and fruit codes on the stickers without glasses. Truly a life changing experience that I would recommend to anyone.

I had scheduled a free consultation that involved a comprehensive eye exam and then the doctor went over all of my options. I was able to schedule the procedure a month out so that I could give work enough notice. The staff was helpful in answering my questions and helping me with paperwork. On the day of the procedure, they did the eye exam again and switched from PRK to LASIK now that I had not been wearing my contacts for several days, my cornea scans/topography were eligible for LASIK. At least I was nervous because I had been preparing for PRK for a month. The surgeon reassured me that he was confident with going the LASIK route. The procedure was painless, there were moments of discomfort and I could definitely feel the pressure with the suction and eyelid speculum, but it was over in minutes. I came off the table with clearer vision already. I followed all the post-op care and in a week, I went from about 20/400 to just about 20/20. At this point, dryness is still an issue with the tear film stabilizing so I am still using preservation-free eye drops every day. Night vision is improving and I am able to drive home from a late shift safely. I had been wearing glasses and contacts for 22 years so it is unbelievable that this was all corrected in about 15 minutes total.

Only good things so far. The next day follow up my vision was 20/20 (prior to surgery was 20/15). The second follow up on Monday, I was back to 20/15. Minor glare issues persist but it hasn’t even been a full month and it is slowly getting better. Quick and efficient process. Happy with my decision. Prescription was around -1 to -1.5 on both eyes for reference.

I had LASIK at Boston Vision with Dr. Melki, and overall, it was a great experience. From consultation to surgery was just one week — a quick turnaround that I appreciated. The process was smooth from start to finish. One tip: if you have VSP vision insurance, make sure to ask about the discount upfront — it wasn't volunteered, but once I asked, it was applied without issue and made a meaningful difference in cost. A few days post-op I developed some symptoms that had me worried about complications. Boston Vision got me in promptly for a check, and everything turned out to be fine. That responsiveness really stood out. At day 10 my vision isn't perfect yet, but I'm already glasses-free and seeing well. Fully expecting continued improvement as I heal. Would recommend Dr. Melki and the Boston Vision team.

I had LASIK with Dr. Melki and am currently 5 days post-op. The procedure itself was a little painful (nothing extreme) but incredibly quick. It was done in under 15 minutes. The first day after, there was some slight dryness, but the provided drops helped. Since then, my eyes have been recovering wonderfully. My vision is better now than it's ever been, and I expect it to continue to improve over the next few weeks. Before my procedure, I was informed that I had significant astigmatism, but the procedure could still be done and I'm happy I went through with it. Regarding all the appointments I had with Boston Vision, they were always professional and quick.

I had LASIK with Dr. Melki and his assistants and am now 5 days post-op. The process was efficient and smooth, and everything went as expected on the day of the procedure. During the procedure, I felt minimal pressure, and was in and out of the office within about 3 hours. I rested for the remainder of the day. I had slight discomfort on day one post-op, but by day two I was feeling much better and seeing clearly.

I had LASIK done 4 days ago by Dr. Melki and 3 other assisting doctors. I had mild nearsightedness around -1.25 to -1.50. The LASIK procedure improved my left eye to 20/20 and my dominant right eye to 20/15 or better. It’s unfortunate that LASIK outcomes have a degree of luck to them. But I’m glad to have found a nearby clinic with WaveLight Plus so I can have a good chance of getting a minimum of 20/20. I originally wanted to do ICL but my myopia was out of range. I was relieved that the clinic did many tests, multiple times, and included some tests with dilating eye drops. The office staff were accommodating and the wait times were short. The technicians were very thorough, patient, and friendly. Between the consultation doctor, surgeon, and followup doctor, each gave many opportunities to ask questions. Though the bulk of information about LASIK is better researched at home with multiple sources, Boston Vision provided many resources of information such as videos, online documents, a Q&A site by Dr. Melki, and this site HowDidItGo. The surgery was fast and painless. But the most uncomfortable part was when the machine applied suction and pressure to my eye. The laser was painless, though the smell of it working was strong and unsettling. After the surgery, my eyes teared up and stung a bit for a few hours. This quickly went away. The only part of getting LASIK that gives me great anxiety is some of the side effects. Anything with high contrast has a glow. Such as white text on a black background or brightly colored objects. All lights have glare. I also have slightly hazy vision. I get eye strain when using my phone or computer for too long. When I brought these problems up during followup, I was told to allow my eyes time to heal. I’m only 4 days into recovery so the odds are that the majority of distracting side effects will subside in the upcoming weeks and months and perhaps a year. So I will have to be patient and see how lucky or unlucky I am. I limit computer use, lowered the brightness on all devices, try to blink more, take frequent breaks, and only read things at arm’s length. This has helped a lot. I suspect that the doctors did all they could to make the procedure go smoothly with minimal risk, but LASIK will always be a calculated risk with some side effects and what’s done is done. Other side effects I have are dry eyes. But this is manageable with eye drops and wearing sunglasses to shield my eyes from the wind. My vision fluctuates in step with my dryness or after using artificial tears. I see glare and some starburst on bright lights, especially at night. But this isn’t much of a problem because it’s very situational. I had light sensitivity but it quickly disappeared. I have not experienced haloes, blurry vision, distortion, or double vision fortunately. If I had to list the negatives. It would be that my followup doctor didn’t arrive to my 1-week followup and there appeared to be no established backup plan at the clinic. Also, as much as I liked how in depth the Informed Consent explained and showed examples of the side effects and risks, it would’ve been ideal to have easy access to this information earlier in the process such as on a website. Though to be fair, it seems that most LASIK clinics won’t go in depth on the reasons not to get LASIK until you’re ready to commit to the procedure. And Boston Vision either emailed me or posted more information online than many other LASIK clinics. In the end, I won’t be recommending people to get LASIK over glasses because of the unpredictability of the results. But if you absolutely hate being heavily dependent on glasses daily, it’s a valid option to be weighed against contacts and ICL. Boston Vision seemed like the solid choice of clinic for me. I’m 1-2 hours away from the clinic and it strikes the best overall balance of surgeon reputation, technology, price, and distance.

I had LASIK with Dr. Melki, and I am now 4 days post-op. Process was efficient and smooth. All expectations were met the day of procedure. During procedure felt a minimum amount of pressure, but all in all, was in and out of the office within 3 hours of scheduled appointment. Rested the remainder of procedure day. Slight discomfort the 1 day post-op, however by the 2 day post-op, everything was fine and seeing well.

I had LASIK with Dr. Melki, and I am now 3 days post-op. The process on surgery day was quick and smooth. After the initial eye measurements, one eye was covered while I waited about 40 minutes before being taken into the operating room. Dr. Melki and two attendants performed the procedure. During the surgery, I felt some pressure and a lot of irrigation while staring into a very bright light, but the procedure itself was over in less than 10 minutes. I had taken a sedative shortly beforehand, and I did not experience any pain during the operation. Afterward, I was sent home with protective eye gear. On the 20-minute drive home, I noticed some mild discomfort, mostly a grainy, slightly stretched feeling in my eyes, but after sleeping for about 8 hours, I woke up feeling very little discomfort. I’ve been staying off screens as much as possible since my eyes get tired more quickly, but I have not experienced any blurry vision. Now, 3 days post-op, I am continuing to use my eye drops and wear the protective eye shields as instructed. At my follow-up appointment, I was told that my vision is healing well. So far, I’m very happy with how smooth the experience has been and with my recovery progress.

I had LASIK monovision at Boston Vision Brookline exactly a week ago and I’m loving my long distance sight results so far. I can’t see very clearly up close yet, but I’m hoping that will resolve over the next few days. The staff at Boston Vision was top tier. Everyone, from the front desk staff, to the doctors and technicians, treated me with the utmost care. They encouraged me to ask questions and they shared as much detail about my procedure as they could. During the procedure they kept me informed at all times and answered questions I posed. I was very nervous about the procedure, and they made sure I was completely comfortable before, during and after. The two doctors who saw me for my first two follow ups were knowledgeable, knew my case well and treated me with the same care as my surgeon (Dr. Brenner) did. I called a couple of times with logistical questions and the staff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this practice. When my short distance eyesight is fully back, I’ll update my review.

Incredible professionalism from everyone at Boston Vision. I had my monovision LASIK performed two days ago and feel great! Dr Keshav clearly explained every step in the process before and even during the surgery. The day after, I was able to drive myself to the post op appt and can see better than I ever have in my life. I highly recommend going to Boston Vision for your vision correction needs.

Before my procedure, my vision was –4.25 with astigmatism. I actually chickened out FOUR times before finally going through with LASIK, fifth time was the charm! Boston Vision was incredibly patient and understanding the whole way through, which made a huge difference for me. I was honestly surprised by how easy the procedure was. There was no pain at all...just about 10 seconds of slight pressure, and then it was over. The wildest part was that I could already see pretty well as soon as I sat up. My vision was a little blurry for the first day or two, but every morning I woke up, it was noticeably better. I’m writing this on day 6, and I’m already seeing 20/15. I honestly wish I had done this sooner, one of the best decisions I’ve made. Only thing I need for the seeable future are eye drops as they continue to heal!

I had LASIK surgery with Dr. Brenner at Boston Vision, and it was a very positive experience. From the first consultation to the procedure and follow-up care, everything felt organized, professional, and reassuring. I'll be honest - at first I was a little put off by the assembly-line process of the consultation, but I want to assure anyone else with the same concern that when it comes to your care, you will be treated with the upmost care and individualized attention. Dr. Brenner took the time to explain the process clearly, answer my questions, and ensure I felt comfortable before proceeding. I had even emailed him prior to surgery day to ask about my permanent eyeliner, and got a response within a couple of hours. The staff was friendly and efficient, which helped ease my nerves. During my consult, I was on the line between LASIK and PRK. On the day of surgery, it was still a game-time decision. I was pretty nervous making what felt like a huge decision in a matter of moments, but Dr. Brenner answered all my questions and helped me make an educated decision without me feel rushed. The procedure was quick and much less intimidating than I had expected. I felt some mild discomfort afterward, but that was well explained beforehand and went away quickly. I noticed improvement in my vision almost immediately, and it continued to get better over the following days. The aftercare was easy, and my "goodie bag" contained everything I needed. What stood out to me was the level of care and attention throughout the process. I felt well-informed at each step, and never pressured. Literally every staff member that I interacted with was kind and helpful. Overall, I’m thrilled with my decision and would recommend Dr. Brenner and Boston Vision to anyone considering LASIK.

Would recommend Boston Vision for LASIK. Quick easy process wish I would’ve got it done sooner! Everyone was very friendly! I felt comfortable

My ICL surgery with Dr. Brenner went very well. It was a remarkably quick procedure - around 10 minutes on the table for both eyes. The recovery was easy. I had very minimal soreness for two days following and some dry eye that was relieved with OTC drops. I saw 20/20 (r) and 20/25 (L) the day after my surgery.

I would highly recommend Boston Vision for LASIK. The procedure was very quick and easy. Some pressure to the eye during the procedure and feels a little awkward but no pain at all. Eyes were a bit blurry when leaving but I went home and took the recommended 4 hour nap. Waking up from that I felt but better. I had mono vision done so I'm still adjusting to that but seems to be getting better each day.

I had lasik surgery yesterday and already today feeling much better and seeing so much better. I am very pleased with Boston Vision and glad I had it done. Thank you team at Boston Vision

Overall, I had a very positive experience at Boston Vision. The process can feel a bit impersonal given the high volume of patients, with people moving quickly from room to room. That said, I felt confident in the quality of care, which made that aspect less concerning. LASIK was a big step for me. While I felt relatively calm beforehand, I did experience anxiety during the procedure itself. I’m very glad I took Xanax beforehand and would recommend it to others undergoing the procedure (if appropriate for them). The team also let me choose the music in the OR and having ABBA playing definitely helped ease my nerves. Recovery was smoother than I expected. I took ibuprofen when I got home and went straight to sleep, and I was genuinely surprised to wake up with clear vision and far less discomfort than anticipated. The dry eyes, screen sensitivity, and nighttime blurriness are real, but I’ve been reassured these improve with time. One eye is slightly stronger than the other, but I now have 20/20 vision for the first time in my life and this feels like a huge win!

I had LASIK about 3 weeks ago and overall it’s been a really positive experience. The procedure itself was quick and honestly way less uncomfortable than I expected. Recovery has been exactly what they told me, not instant perfection, but steady improvement each day. The first couple weeks I had dryness, some blur, and night halos, but those have been gradually getting better. My vision is already so much better than before, and I can tell it’s still improving. The team was great about setting realistic expectations and has been very responsive with follow-up questions. I’d definitely recommend them, especially if you want a practice that’s thorough and honest about the recovery process.

I chose Boston Vision for my LASIK on April 3, and the results have been incredible. I was quite nervous beforehand, but the team was so friendly and professional that I felt completely at ease. They answered all my questions and made the entire process feel seamless. The surgery itself was so fast and efficient that it was over before I even realized it had begun. Now, just two days later, I am already seeing a lot better without the aid of glasses. While I’ve had some minor dryness as my eyes heal, the recovery has been smooth and the results are life-changing. I would definitely recommend it if you wish to get vision correction.

I had CLE LASIK surgery in December, and overall, my experience has been very positive. From the start, the doctors and staff were professional, attentive, and reassuring throughout the entire process. The post-surgery plan included follow-up adjustments over four weeks, which gave me confidence that my vision would be carefully monitored and fine-tuned. As it turned out, I felt ready by the third adjustment, and my vision had already improved significantly by then. I did the monovision setup, with one eye optimized for distance and the other for near vision. That required time to adapt, but now, it genuinely feels like I have “20/20” vision, everything is clear and sharp. That said, since this is new for me, I’m still getting used to what “normal” should feel like after the procedure. Overall, I’m very pleased with both the results and the level of care I received, and I would absolutely recommend this experience to others considering the procedure.

I had Lasik completed with Boston Vision. I was very nervous ahead of time, but the team at Boston Vision was very friendly and answered all of my questions. The experience on the day of the surgery was wonderful- the team was efficient, professional, and the procedure itself was so fast that I could barely process that it had begun by the time it was over. I had a few days of dry eyes, but I am now a week out from the surgery and am so satisfied- my dry eyes are almost completely resolved and I am seeing 20/15- way better than I even expected! I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I found the staff to be very professional from beginning to end. They made me feel comfortable with the extensive testing they did to assure the LASIK and vision correction were a fit for me. I loved how they helped me relax before the big procedure with snacks and lining up my preferred music within the surgical suite. Parking was easy at the Andover site and timeline was less than expected. Cheers to great vision and glasses free for 2 weeks now.

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

Very helpful and reassuring staff all around, and love the results!

Boston Vision made the entire process incredibly smooth! The prep information was super helpful, as was the consult. The thoroughness with which they assess your best options for a path forward indicates how the team truly cares about each individual patients satisfaction. The procedure itself was quick and painless—discomfort was only experienced for about 3 hours post surgery (similar to having sunscreen irritating your eye but you can’t do anything about it). By hour 4, I was up and moving around and could see even more clearly than before.

I had an amazing experience at Boston Vision for my LASIK eye surgery. From the very first consultation, the staff made me feel comfortable and well-informed. They took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all my questions, which really helped ease my nerves. The procedure itself was quick and much easier than I expected. The surgeon was very professional and reassuring throughout the entire process. I felt like I was in great hands the whole time. My vision improved almost immediately, and the results have honestly been life-changing. Waking up and being able to see clearly without glasses or contacts is something I’ll never take for granted. I highly recommend Boston Vision to anyone considering LASIK. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

It was a quick procedure which was not painful at all. Despite some dryness which went away after the first week, the surgery had great results and my vision is better than ever! I highly recommend Lasik at Boston Vision.

I had LASIK in both eyes last month at Boston Vision. I had been told at the consult that I was not a candidate for LASIK due to the asymmetrical shape of my cornea and was scheduled for PRK. On the day, the surgeon determined that I actually was a good candidate for LASIK, and we decided to switch! The procedure was quick and recovery was very easy. I had some tearing and burning a couple of hours after the surgery and some dryness for a few days, but that resolved within a week. My vision is 20/20 in my right eye and 20/15 in my left!

The procedure was really quick. The team made sure I had as much information as possible and answered all questions beforehand. The recovery isn't too bad. The safety goggles are kind of uncomfortable but otherwise everything else is pretty simple.

I just had LASIK done at Boston Vision this month and I genuinely can’t say enough good things. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel completely at ease — they were warm, professional, and answered every question I had without making me feel rushed. The process itself was smooth and well-organized. Everything was clearly explained at each step, which made a huge difference since, let’s be honest, having a laser near your eyes is a little nerve-wracking! But the team’s calm confidence put me right at ease. The recovery was faster than I expected, and the results have been absolutely incredible. I went from depending on glasses or contacts every single day to waking up and just… seeing. It’s hard to describe how big of a difference that makes in daily life. If you’re on the fence about LASIK, Boston Vision is the place to do it. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

My name is Rose, I had been struggling with my vision for over a year, and decided to get an evaluation from Boston Vision. They recommended LAL and the surgery improved my eyesite close to a 20/20 vision which was such an improvement! After these great results, I reffered my friend Ron Sikora to Boston Vision regarding cataract surgery. We discussed our conditions together and Ron was considering an evaluation with Boston Vision. He planned to visit, but he just recently become aware of another excellent opportunity for treatment much closer to where he is living. Both Ron and I are happy with our treatments are feeling healthier. There have been minor complications after the surgery, which was to be expected. Boston Vision took care of me immediately and I'm happy to be a long time customer of theirs now!

It's been 2 months since I had LASIK on both my eyes. I was originally opposed to any sort of surgery on my eyes. I had a friend who recently had it done and was ranting and raving over the results. Between that, and my vision which I had noticed I had been struggling with, especially at night, I changed my mind and decided to go for the consultation. BV made the process very smooth and recommended me for the surgery after determining I was correctable. The surgery was very quick and everyone in the OR was very attentive. My vision was very hazy after the surgery, but very clear. After taking my nap, the haziness was gone. The next morning I was able to drive to work crystal clear. I have noticed lights are much brighter now, but they are bothering me less and less every day. I've been told after several more months it will continue to clear up. So far, it looks like I'm on track for that. I recommend anyone with a vision issue to at least go for the consultation. It's probably not as bad as you think.

I recently had LASIK surgery at Boston Vision, and the surgery itself was quick, easy, and painless. The only real discomfort was some pressure while the laser was cutting, but even that was very manageable. By the end, my face was wet from the water they spray in your eyes, but that was hardly an inconvenience. The most challenging part of my experience was the process leading up to surgery, which was a little confusing. At my first appointment, I was told I was a good candidate for both CLE and LASIK. I initially decided CLE would be the best option and scheduled with Dr. Brenner. When I met with him, though, he explained that given my age (52) and the fact that I don’t have cataracts, he wasn’t comfortable with the risks associated with CLE. We then decided LASIK was the better choice. Dr. Brenner gave me a monovision contact lens prescription to try, and that worked well. The confusion started when our schedules didn’t line up and I ended up scheduling surgery with Dr. Gregoire instead. When I arrived for surgery, he was concerned about the contact lens prescription I had tried and didn’t think I would be happy with the outcome. That made me uneasy, but I appreciated his honesty. We decided not to move forward that day, and instead I tried another prescription and came back two weeks later. I’m very glad we took that extra time. The second prescription was much clearer, and once we confirmed that, we moved forward with the surgery. Now, just three days later, my vision is nearly perfect. I do notice that later in the day my eyes feel more tired, but I was told that should improve over time. Overall, while the path to surgery was a little confusing at times, I highly recommend Boston Vision. The doctors were thoughtful, cautious, and committed to making sure I got the right outcome rather than rushing the process. If you want, I can also turn this into a shorter Google review version that sounds a little more natural and less formal.

Overall, I am optimistic about the procedure I had done. I have used contacts for most of my life and was really looking forward to the LASIK procedure to finally be able to wake up, open my eyes, and see clearly. I was not completely sold on Monovision and unfortunately, I'm still not. The adjustment is a longer process than vision correction, so I am disappointed in just how much my current vision is affecting my day to day thus far. Any individual considering Monovision should be fully prepared for a 30–90-day adjustment following the procedure. During the procedure, I felt the surgical team did a great job communicating what to expect and what was happening in the moment. Each follow-up appointment was fast and informative. Although my surgery was performed at the Brookline office, I found that everyone I encountered in the Milford office was very kind and reassuring. Overall, I am happy I made the decision to get LASIK but with my current knowledge I may have decided against Monovision.

I had LASIK done with Dr. Melki and am so happy with the results. I was looking to do LASIK because I had astigmatism and was tired of wearing glasses all of the time and contacts not being a perfect match for my eyes. After doing a lot of research, I found Boston Vision. I was experiencing dry eyes with contacts so I was pretty nervous about the procedure and how I would feel after but everything has gone extremely smoothly thanks to the follow up appointment and guidance from Dr. Patel. In the operation room, I think the doctors could tell I was nervous so they walked me through the entire procedure when it was happening and tried to distract me by asking some questions during the actual laser part which helped a lot. In total, the procedure was extremely quick. I went home and took a nap and woke up being able to see pretty clearly. I’m only a few days out from LASIK and still have some light bursts at night but it’s improving very quickly and should go away as I heal more. Overall, I would recommend Boston Vision to anyone looking to do vision correction!

Everyone was super friendly and helpful with all of the questions I had regarding this procedure!

I got my Lasik surgery done today! It was a long time in the making, everything went smoothly. The time in the operation room is quite short (10-15 mins max), during the procedure there will be a feeling of intense pressure on your eyes (10 seconds max) and then you'll be shifted towards the laser (again only 15 seconds max for each eyes) you wont feel too much, for me it was just a bit of burning. Afterwards I slept for a couple hours and since waking up been feeling great (eyes are just a little tired and sore). Its been really cool to be able to see far distance already! :)

After years of having to wear glasses and contacts being told I was a good candidate for lasik was amazing. The experience was amazing and very well run. I was in the office for about an hour an half an the surgery wasn't as bad as I expected. The staff was very nice and professional and an Dr. Keshav was great

The procedure is done. I liked how quick it was. I'm still waiting on my eye sight to correct itself. It is taking longer than anticipated.

My appointment was only about 1.5 hours. Everyone was pretty friendly and inviting and the location was very clean. I was asked who I would like to listen to music wise and they played Teddy Swims for me during my procedure. I sang the lyrics in my head helping to distract me. They asked questions to help distract my mind as well. Dr. Brenner did talk through out the process letting me know what eye we were doing, the worse is over and that I was doing great. Over all my experience was very pleasant

I was on Ortho-K lenses for 5 years and had pretty good results considering I'm a week in. I picked the clinic for being doctor-run, for not being a LASIK factory, and for having Wavelength+ which is an advancement. Although SMILE (which isn't offered here) is also advanced and widely considered less risky for side effects, Wavelength+ has an edge in terms of results because it calculates based on your entire eyeball. I had 20/20 vision the day after. It's now a week after my surgery and I have 20/15 vision which is even better. In contrast: my sister got SMILE, needed a revision, and a year later still gets blurry vision at night. Side effects: I do have blood splotches and stinging in my left eye which they said should fade 2 weeks after surgery, and glare which is very noticeable when I look at bright phone/TV screens that they said should fade 2 months after surgery. The assistants who help you before your surgery are awesome! The african american woman who saw me (I forgot her name but I want her to get credit...Monet??) came off as kind, trustworthy, and clear at communicating what she knew and even what she didn't. The surgery itself was not nearly as uncomfortable as I thought. I heard people say it's "excrutiatingly uncomfortable" despite being painless. If you're used to Ortho-K, these sensations won't phase you tbh. They provide a take-home-kit after surgery with goggles, sunglasses, antibiotic steroid eyedrops, and preservative-free lubricant eyedrops. Points of improvement: - Their process for taking in Ortho-K patients isn't well-oiled. The assistants didn't know that I had to stop wearing my lenses for any period of time beforehand, so I did a bunch of tests at my first evaluation for nothing. - The surgeon here, Dr. Melki, has a stacked resume and a lot of experience but his personality pmo. Luckily you don't have to speak with him much. His personality may have actually worsened my left eye's recovery? During surgery, they flatten your eyes one at a time and instructed me to keep looking at a circle with my left eye. But as my eye flattened, the circle appeared to shift into a corner. He sounded annoyed while saying I "really need to follow instructions". When I said that I WAS following them, he went silent. On the third attempt I figured out that I should actually IGNORE his instructions and focus on what my right eye saw to ensure my left eye didn't shift, but my eye was hella sore.

I've always had dry and red eyes with allergies my whole life, so I was very hesitant about which procedure to move forward with. I went with LASIK after being a candidate for that and ICL (as well as PRK). The procedure went great. I was worried after because I feel like I moved during the procedure, but the staff was very reassuring. My eyes were terribly dry and irritated for weeks after, requiring some follow up with the optometrist and a few regimens of steroids. It was scary to think that might last forever, but the Boston Vision team took great care of me. The dryness mostly resolved around 3 months out, and now 5 months out everything is great. My vision isn't as perfect as it was with glasses (it was previously 20/15), but it is 20/20 and I have no need for glasses at the moment.

The procedure was fast and the whole process very streamlined. The first days were uncomfortable. After the procedure, I had natural anxiety that I would move the flap or get an infection, which I did not. The close follow up appointments help with reassurance. I am over 2 months out from the procedure now and have 20/15 vision in both eyes. I am still bothered by halos and light sensitivity in general. My eyes are dry at times but not too bad.

The process couldn’t have been easier! I have dreamt of having my vision corrected forever. I was nervous about the procedure but everyone at Boston Vision put me at ease. A little discomfort during the procedure but no pain. I am 6 days from LASIK and my vision is better than 20/20! Besides a little dryness I am feeling completely normal. I am so happy I chose Boston Vision, thank you to the team!

This was my second LASIK procedure, an enhancement, and my overall experience was excellent. Dr. Melki was incredibly professional, attentive, and responsive throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all of my questions as we evaluated whether monovision or a bilateral adjustment would be the best approach for my needs. I ultimately proceeded with the bilateral adjustment and felt very confident in that decision thanks to his guidance. The professionalism of the entire staff and the quality of the facility were outstanding. Everything was well organized, and I felt supported throughout each step of the process. For those considering a LASIK enhancement specifically, there are a couple of details I would suggest being more clearly communicated during pre-op preparation. One is that, prior to the procedure, there is a step where the surgeon lifts the previously healed corneal flap while you are seated upright. This requires you to remain very still, and it was not something I recall being emphasized in the pre-op materials or videos. Additionally, while it is clearly communicated that you must have a driver on the day of the procedure, I would strongly recommend also having a driver available for the day-after follow-up appointment. In my case, my flap required minor smoothing to ensure proper healing and to prevent potential visual disturbances such as blurriness or light sensitivity. This involved numbing the eye and briefly lifting the flap again, which temporarily affected my vision afterward. Having transportation arranged for that appointment would be a wise precaution. Lastly, during any flap-related steps, whether on procedure day or during follow-up, remaining as still as possible is extremely important to ensure the best outcome. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would highly recommend Dr. Melke and his team to anyone considering LASIK or a LASIK enhancement. Their professionalism, communication, and quality of care were excellent.
