Dr. Melki performed my surgery. It's been a month since the procedure and it has been going well. My one day post op showed results for 20/15 in one eye, but my other eye wasn't as great. Apparently, a wrinkle developed for the flap between the procedure and day one. Dr. Sabbah was the one to identify it and made an effort to correct it. On my three-day post op meeting, he mentioned that it looked okay and the blurriness should go away. I will be attending my 6 week post op session soon and my vision has been going well. There are fluctuations as described by the doctors, but the range of fluctuation isn't as wide. The procedure itself was straightforward. I didn't experience pain during or after the procedures.

Very good experience

Today is day 2 post ICL surgery with Dr Melki. I could see right away after surgery which was quite amazing after having been wearing eye glasses for so many years. Certainly vision was quite blurry and I was not able to read or see anything on my phone. Eyes were very light sensitive the day of the surgery as they were dilated. I kept wearing the provided sunglasses for the whole day which helped. I was able to watch TV in the evening without issues. Today vision is still a bit blurry - it is difficult to read and work on a computer. Depending on light I am seeing some halo rings. No pain, just my left eye feels a bit sore and sensitive. Surgery itself went well and was quick. I did not take the xanax that was offered. I did not feel any pain, the main discomfort comes from the bright lights and when they remove the eye draps after surgery. There is a bit of pressure from gel and water being applied. The actual procedure of cutting and inserting the lens was just seconds, I think. Pre-op felt a bit disorganized as the pre-op nurse was coming in and out between different patients and rooms. Sleeping with the protective eye shield is fine. So far I would recommend ICL.

I had ICL surgery eight days ago. My vision had been -5.25 and I'd worn glasses or contacts for the last 36 years. I specifically chose Dr. Brenner after doing a lot of research and reading nearly 300 reviews on Google, Yelp, or elsewhere. The day of the surgery, I was taken promptly from the waiting room, but the technician seemed rushed. She was definitely juggling 3+ patients at the time. The surgery itself only took 25 minutes total, but was very uncomfortable (although not painful). My eyes were held open, which would've been manageable but then they shined a light in my eye that was three times brighter than the sun and asked me to look at it. It's momentary torture to say the least. I wanted to keep my eyes shut for most of the rest of the day. They watered uncontrollably for a few hours after. That night and certainly by the next day, my vision was very clear. Clearer than I expected. Details across the room were crisp. I had light sensitivity (and still do) and a mild headache for the first couple days. At my one-week follow-up appointment today, my left eye is 20/20, while my right eye seems to have backtracked to 20/50. Dr. Brenner says vision fluctuation is a normal part of the healing process, so hopefully it’ll return to perfect over the coming days/weeks.

Super happy with my experience with ICL so far - can't wait to see how the eyes get better over time! My left eye is still a little blurry compared to my right eye but I'm still in the early days. Now 5 days post-op and no complications - make sure to follow the post-op instructions. One tip to give would be to be prepared for your consult and come with questions ready if you have any. While I did feel cared for my consult felt rushed and you feel like a machine passing through an assembly line doing all those tests. My advice is once you have the chance to ask questions ask all of them you have. The surgery itself was super quick - they give you an anti-anxiety med if you ask for it prior, but you do need to have a friend to drive you home. Surgery wasn't painful at all, but some parts were uncomfortable in a tugging sensation. totally manageable. Taking a nap after is a good idea to alleviate some dizziness. Definitely buy some extra non-preservative eye drops in advance - I blew through the stock they gave me. I also bought an even darker pair of sunglasses to use outside and used the provided ones for inside instead. I found that useful. I think I got pretty lucky in regard to haloes - mine don't really bother me a lot or I don't have a lot. Just had my 1 week post op today and right eye is perfect, but left eye still a little blurry. I voiced my concerns and was definitely reassured - after the eyes fully heal we can investigate if a touch up is needed. Still really happy all around and look forward to that 2 month checkup.

I had my LASIK performed in the middle of the day by Dr. Keshav. The entire staff at Boston Vision were incredibly welcoming and friendly. They were great at alleviating any anxiety I had pre-op and my vision was AMAZING the following morning!

I recieved my ICL surgery on May 27, 2026, today is my second day and am excited to share my experience. First of all, the service was great, every technician and doctor I met were very patient and nice. My surgery was done by Dr. Melki, who is very experienced in ICL surgery. My vision was -6 to -7 in both eyes, and have a ~-3 astigmatism. During the process, I can feel a bit pressure in my eyes and can see the blurry watery view, and can feel the lense being implanted. It was not painful at all. I had a little bit of sourness for my left eye right after the surgery but it went away within 2 hours. My vision was clear already after 2-3 hours, and I got back to computer work that night with a sunglass. for my second day, I'm not feeling any discomfort in my eyes, nor any blurriness, and my post-op test on the second day has shown I have 20/20 vision for both eyes! Very surprising and very successful. I still can see halo, which is a completely normal condition after surgery, and I look forward to it disappearing. Overall, My pre-op, surgery and post-op experience were all amazing and I'm glad I'll have a bright vision for the rest of my life hahahaha!

Honest Review: It’s been two weeks since my ICL surgery. I wanted to wait a while, so I was able to give a completely honest review. The Dr. whom I had my consult with was phenomenal, friendly and so informative, however the Dr. who did my actual surgery had no personality. He didn’t introduce himself nor really explain what was going to happen during my surgery and what to expect. I felt more like another person on an assembly line rather than a patient. The first few days to a week were ROUGH, I felt as though my vision was fluctuating, I had extreme light sensitivity, dry eye, and struggled to see closely. I was really reconsidering the whole thing, but I was patient and rested as much as possible. At my one-week post op I was officially 20/20 in both eyes! I was previously -11.75 & -12.25. So, it’s truly a life-changing experience for me! At two weeks out I still struggle a bit with dryness, but I feel as though the environment plays a huge part in that, and I also struggle a bit to see close. This portal has been great; I was able to connect with a few people and hear their experiences and struggles. If anyone as any questions, please reach out I’m happy to help as best as I can.

I am 4 days post-op of my ICL surgery. I have had glasses since I was two years old, and am now 32. I have dry eye so contacts did not work for me as they did in my teen years. I never thought a permanent vision correction would ever be an option for me because i also have Myopic Degeneration. This requires frequent eye injections and there is no cure for it besides monitoring and getting the injection. My experience with Dr. Brenner was amazing. Everything went so quickly and smoothly. All of the staff with Dr. Brenner was also super nice and helpful. They made the entire transition from the exam room to operating room so smooth and easy i was able to stay relaxed and not be nervous for the surgery. Before surgery i had an astigmatism in both eyes and my prescription was at a -14. As fast as moving out of the operating room back to the exam room my left eye was seeing 20/20 and my right eye was 20/25. (my right eye is the one that needs the injections) I am hopeful at my one week post-op both will be 20/20 after everything is completely healed. For me this has changed my life completely and i couldn't thank Boston Vision enough for being able to correct my vision.

I am 4 days post-op of having ICL vision correction surgery with Dr. Brenner at Boston Vision. My experience right from the beginning was smooth and faster than I had anticipated. I came across Boston Vision after having treatments for dry eye and looking into permanent correction options after finding that I should not wear contacts anymore due to my dry eye symptoms. I have been in glasses and wearing contacts for about 10 years now and knew that this would be life changing. The day of surgery was very nerve wracking but the team made me feel comfortable and after the procedure, my vision was very cloudy and I could not see very clearly. The next day the cloudiness was gone and my vision had improved dramatically but I was seeing double as one of my eyes was still very dilated. Each day after surgery my lingering symptoms of headache, pressure, light sensitivity, and blurry vision have improved tremendously. I still am having a hard time reading off my computer screen clearly but it's getting better each day. All in all, my symptoms were not as bad as I had thought they would be and the procedure was honeslty painless. It was uncomfortable and I felt pressure but no pain. It really is an incredible feeling to wake up and not have to fumble for my glasses anymore or even simple things like being able to see in the shower! I highly recommend considering ICL with Boston Vision.

Great experience. Dr. Brenner made me feel very comfortable start to finish. The Brookline office was extremely Professional and pleasant.

We have vision coverage through VSP, which is how I found Boston Vision. My initial call with the patient rep for Lasik was very helpful - I got all my questions (cost, logistics) answered, and I was able to get an appointment for the consultation at the closest location to me (Wellesley) a few days after the initial call. At the consultation, I was advised that Lasik would be ideal for my situation - I was also curious about PRK, and was open to either procedure. I was also advised to consider monovision given my age, which I did opt for (the videos that the group sent me prior to the consultation were helpful in explaining the benefits, so I was already sort of leaning this way). Since this procedure was something I had been considering for a while, I booked the next available date for surgery, which happened to be the following Friday at the Brookline location with Dr. Melki. The visit for the surgery was very straightforward - after spending some time in the waiting room and having some confirmatory measurements performed, I met with Dr. Melki and he explained how the procedure would go. There were no surprises - it went exactly how it was described, and was over in 10-15 minutes. I didn’t experience any pain or intolerable discomfort. I was taking an Uber home, so I didn’t take any sedatives - but I don’t feel like I missed them at all.

 In the days following surgery, the only discomfort I experienced was in the morning from the “bandage” contact lens that was placed in my right eye during the surgery - the same kind I’d previously experienced if I fell asleep with my prescription contact lenses in. But that went away immediately after putting drops in, and stopped being a problem altogether after the lens was removed on my three-day follow-up visit. The starburst-like effect from lights that’s apparently characteristic of these procedures was pronounced on the first day after surgery, but I feel like that diminished over the course of a few days. It’s been just under a week since the surgery and I don’t currently view whatever remains as problematic or impairing in any way. I’m very happy with the results - I should have done this sooner. I probably would have been happy even if my vision had not improved after the first day, so the improvement I experienced due to continued healing and acclimation is remarkable. I have no regrets about going with monovision - despite the under correction in one eye, I don’t feel like my distance vision is lacking in any way. There was only one hiccup through the entire process: the office was very busy on the day of my procedure, and so I ended up waiting a while (most of the 2-3 hour time quoted for the procedure seems to be waiting). I ended up spending most of that time staring at my phone. Apparently, I shouldn’t have done this - it resulted in the confirmatory measurements needing to be redone a few times, presumably due to the strain I placed on my eyes. I’m not sure how much of a difference it ultimately made, but I’m reassured by the fact that they spent the extra time to try to get the most accurate results. In short: I have no reservations about recommending Lasik if it’s something you’re considering and are eligible for, and would highly recommend Boston Vision as the provider.

I wore contact lenses for over 30 years and came to a point that I can't wear them anymore. It caused dry eye condition. So I had to wear glasses. I don't like glasses at all. I have to constantly switch between distance glass and reading glass. I was looking for solutions for my eyes that not dependent on glasses. I am glad I found Boston Vision. Dr. Jason Brenner told me that I can have ICL surgery that can meet my goal. I chose monovision since it can help me for both distance and reading at certain degree. I was nervous before the operation. But the surgery went very smoothly. My eyes were blurry on the day of the surgery. I can see clearly the next morning when I woke up. My eyes felt a little heavy due to surgery incision. The discomfort went away in a couple of days. I also see halos under the lights in the evening. I need reading glass to see computer screen clearly. I hope this will improve over time. But I can see things without glasses, that counts thousands words. Thank you so much!!!

I recently had LASIK done at Boston Vision with Dr. Melki and I honestly could not be happier with my experience. The entire team and staff — doctors, nurses, everyone — were incredibly kind, professional, and helpful throughout the whole process. They always made sure I felt comfortable, safe, and answered every question or concern I had. The follow-up appointments have also been very easy and quick, which made recovery much less stressful. Special shoutout to Rick, who helped me with scheduling and payments. He was always responsive through email or phone calls and helped me with anything I needed. He truly made the process smooth from start to finish. The LASIK procedure itself only took about 12 minutes, and my results honestly exceeded my expectations. I ended up with 20/20 vision in one eye and 20/15 in the other — which is even better than I had with glasses! I do not regret my decision choosing Boston Vision at all. If I had a time machine and could go back to before the surgery, I would still choose Boston Vision in Brookline every single time. Definitely worth the money, and as a celebration I plan on throwing all my glasses into Boston Harbor!

nice

I went with Boston Vision for Lasik because of many referrals from prior clients who had lasik and ICL surgery. From my first consultation to the post op appointments, they didn't miss a beat. Everyone was very professional, organized and each appointment was on time. What was unique was at my in person consultation they had me schedule my surgery and post op appointments with someone via zoom. This helps save time for the doctors and staff to work with patients and save the administrative time. The surgery was quick and painless. I opted for monovision and its been one week since surgery and am doing well. My eyes are still healing so I won't know the full outcome for a few months, but I like how I can see now.

Hi all, I did my Lasik procedure over the past week with Dr. Melki, and I genuinely want to say this was the best decision of my life. The first day you will asked to close your eyes for 4 hours (highly recommend) so that you give your eyes some time to heal post operation. After the 4 hours your sight will already be so much better than without glasses. I went from being -4.0 to having 20/20 vision within the first week. The only hard part about this whole process is when you go into the surgery room. Just make sure you are relaxed, hold still throughout the operation, and breathe. The operation only lasts 7 minutes per eye which is a short period of time and honestly it doesn't even hurt when the procedure is happening. Ensure that you use your prescribed drop for the recommended days and you will be feeling better by the first day. Try and avoid the sunlight for the first couple of days but yeah its an easy recovery process.

I had Lasik monovision surgery with Dr Melchi last Friday 5/15. Dr Melchi met with me before the procedure and took time to address my concerns as I was a bit nervous. I never felt rushed and he really made me feel confident and ready so that was great and much appreciated in the moment. The procedure itself was a bit uncomfortable but was exactly as described by the doctor and his OR team. I did feel the burning sensation on the way home and was very tired for the remainder of the day so I just slept for most of it and the burning soon subsided upon waking from the first nap. I did experience the start of dry eye the next morning and continue to do so but hoping that will subside in the coming weeks as my eyes continue to heal and I am generous with the artificial tears. I reached out to Dr Melchi the morning after surgery about some divots in my eyelids upon waking which resolved an hour or so after blinking, likely also related to dry eye. Dr Melchi promptly responded and I appreciate his willingness to be easily accessible to address any concerns after surgery. I have adjusted well so far to monovision and really enjoy not needing to wear glasses all the time! I would highly recommend Dr Melchi. His level of confidence and expertise is exactly what you want in an eye surgeon.

I had Lasik with Dr. Melki on Friday, 5/15 at the Brookline office. I have been wearing glasses/contacts since I was 6 years old. I am now almost 1 week out from surgery and currently have the clearest and sharpest vision I have ever had in my entire life. The actual procedure itself was a little more uncomfortable than I expected, but it was over quickly. There was more pressure on the eye than expected, but it was never painful. The worst part for me was being fully aware of everything that was happening, but again, it is over quickly. After the procedure my eyes were stinging/burning for 3-4 hours, but I wouldn't necessarily say it was painful. To me, it felt like I had sunblock or soap in my eyes, but if I kept my eyes closed as suggested it felt fine. I went home and went right to sleep for a few hours as instructed, and woke up with completely clear vision the same night. By the 1 day follow up, I could already see significantly better. I did not really experience any blurriness or halos or anything of the like. I would definitely recommend LASIK with Dr. Melki. All of the staff at Boston Vision were extremely friendly and professional, including the other Drs. I saw for my consultation and post-op appointments. The excellent vision I now have definitely outweighs the minor discomfort during the procedure and the few hours afterwards.

I was exhausted the afternoon after ICL in both eyes, and on day 2 (today) my eyes were tired but I didn’t end up needing to nap at all. My 1-Day follow up went well, I’m seeing 20/15, and I have significantly fewer halos than yesterday. Overall I am ecstatic with happiness over how well I’m able to see. Absolutely incredible results. Dr. Jason Brenner is my hero. Day 6: my eyes are less tired by the day, I haven’t experienced dry eyes in accept when I woke up in the morning the first few days, and the halos associated with bright lights are dimming by the day. My vision is slightly less crisp than it was in the first 2 days, but still way better than expected. I’m absolutely thrilled with the results.

I had CLE (B&L enVista Envy, not Vivity lenses, but what I was isn't a choice in the dropdown) after doing a relatively extensive amount of research. I'm a 54 year male, and I've had terrible vision (20/600 in one eye and 20/400 in the other) since I was about 10 years old, corrected to 20/20 with contact lenses. I was not experiencing any vision trouble prior to the surgery (and to be clear I'm not experiencing any afterward either). My driver for having CLE was issues with wearing goggles when participating in extreme sports: I mountain bike, downhill ski in the woods, and my primary sport is whitewater kayaking year round, even in Vermont winters (drysuit not optional). Goggles fog, they get scratched, they fill up with water or slide off. After a couple scary experiences with rolling in a rapid and washing my contacts out of my eyes, causing me to paddle the rest of the rapid literally blind, I realized it wasn't just dangerous for me, but I was putting my crew at risk by potentially needing to be rescued because I couldn't see what I was doing. I started researching vision correction options. My prescription was too strong for LASIK and I'm too old for ICL, so CLE was my best option. I did a bunch of research into CLE providers with the quip in my mind that I wanted to be a surgeons 3rd procedure of the day, not the month or year. I read the reviews, watched the videos, and made the appointment with Boston Vision. In the consult with the surgeon it became clear a particular multifocal lens was my best option. The recommendation came from my strong prescription and my apparently unusually negative experience with the monovision trial: I tried it and absolutely hated it, one of the best days ever was going back to stereo vision after the weeklong monovision trial. In the end, stereoscopic vision won even if it meant accepting halos and light diffraction caused by the multifocal lenses. The actual surgery was done on a Friday for my right eye, and the following Monday for my left. It was incredibly smooth and quick. My nerves aside (DON'T MOVE YOUR EYES! DON'T MOVE YOUR EYES!), the prep team had me ready to go in just a few minutes. It's clearly a very well practiced dance they were doing and the only mild discomfort was the pressure felt when the new lens was inserted. In less than 20 minutes they had completed the procedure, put a protective cover on my eye, and I was moved to the post-op exam room. Post op: only a minute or two after I was moved, the surgeon came in and tried to do a measurement of my vision, which went... Poorly. I could barely make out the top line of the chart. He changed the chart and seemed unbothered that my vision was so blurry (to be fair my eye was still tearing and felt like it had goop all over it, so wasn't expecting to be able to see much). My left eye was the same, though I could see reasonably clearly much faster after that surgery. On Monday my right eye which had been done just 3 days earlier tested at 20/20 already. Today is 1 week after my second eye (left) was done, and overall I'm seeing very nearly was well as I was with my contacts (and better than with glasses). I no longer need contacts or reading glasses, and it's still a very strange feeling to not have to take my contact lenses out before I go to sleep! The halos around bright lights, particularly very bright white lights, are annoying but they're a nuisance and don't affect my ability to do anything, including driving at night, safely. Overall I'm very happy with the surgery and outcome. If I had the ability to go back and make the choice again, I'd definitely still do it even with the minor aftereffects.

It was a great experience!

My review of the surgery is in my previous post, but as a Functional Nutritionist I wanted to share some aftercare tips on how to nourish post-surgery to help your eyes heal! Lean proteins (chicken, eggs, salmon, tofu, lentils, and Greek yogurt) rejuvenate eye cells, strengthen fragile blood vessels, and rebuild delicate eye tissue. Omega-3s (capsules, salmon, tuna, chia seeds, and walnuts) alleviate post-surgery dry eye symptoms, support retinal lubrication, and manage swelling. Vitamin C-rich foods (oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, kiwi, and red bell peppers) stimulate collagen synthesis, speed up overall wound healing, and reduce surgical inflammation. Leafy greens (spinach, kale, collard greens, and broccoli) provide vitamin A to boost cellular function and lutein which protects the recovering retina. Zinc and vitamin E-rich foods (almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and avocados) transport vitamin A from the liver to the retina while shielding healing tissues from cellular stress. Beta-Carotene rich foods (sweet potatoes, carrots, apricots, and cantaloupe) are essential for the retina, supporting night vision and keeping eyes properly lubricated. To get the most out of your eye-healthy foods, pair them with healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, or avocados to increase nutrient absorption. Be sure to avoid processed sugars, really salty foods, and alcohol because they can add unnecessary pressure and swelling, as well as dehydrate the eyes which can prolong healing. Stay very hydrated, aiming towards half your body weight in ounces of water daily to flush out metabolic waste and keep your eyes lubricated. Happy healing!

I read a lot of reviews prior to getting Lasik where many people expressed that you would only feel a little bit of pressure, some water, and then a light show. I would like to express that I certainly felt more sensation than that during the procedure, it is rather uncomfortable with a lot a pressure, very bright lights, and poking of the eyes. However it is very short and goes by fairly quickly. You will want to shut your eyes immediately after the surgery as that is the most uncomfortable part of the whole process, for me the discomfort lasted about 2 hours. I had set up a bed in the back of my dad's car so I could lay down for the ride and I set up my room with water and snacks, and had shut all the blinds before I left so I could go straight to my bed when I got home, which I highly recommend. After those initial few hours, there has been no discomfort and my sight already significantly improved in the first day. The day after the surgery things were a bit hazy but, again, significantly better. The only sensation I was feeling on day 1 and now day 2 is that it feels like I have dry contacts in my eyes but that's when I use the eye drops and it goes away. I also do have the blood splotches on my eyes, but that is common, not painful, and will go away. So, all in all, I am already very happy with the surgery, though it was much more uncomfortable during the procedure and the initial 2 hours than I was expecting.

Had LASIK done with Boston Vision at the Brookline location. Overall very smooth process with professional staff who explained the procedure, risks/benefits, and made me feel comfortable throughout. The procedure itself was about 10 minutes max with minimal discomfort other than some pressure from the device used to create the flap. I'm about 2 weeks post-op and I'm still experiencing some vision fluctuations and halos but able to function fully without contacts for the first time since 5th grade! Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering LASIK!

I’ve worn glasses my entire life due to my myopia and astigmatism, and I finally decided to get EVO ICL surgery. The procedure was very quick, probably around 6 or 7 minutes per eye. My eyes were numbed, so I only felt a little pressure and saw a bright light, but there was no real pain. After the surgery, I went home and slept for a few hours. When I woke up, I could already see clearly at a distance. I had a bit of inflammation afterward, but I was prescribed eye drops that helped a lot. I still notice some halos when looking at the sun or bright lights at night, but they are manageable. I’m also still having a little difficulty focusing on the computer and my phone, but aside from that, it’s been wonderful to be able to see without glasses. Overall, I’m very happy with my decision and excited to continue adjusting as my eyes heal.

I am 5 days post surgery and feeling great! Most of the reviews I read beforehand are all immediately after surgery (because we are incentivized to post within one week) so I will definitely make sure I circle back with a more medium term assessment. But for now, here are the highlights and some honest moments I experienced: Pros- - Surgery was painless, recovery was painless!!! And I mean literally zero pain, just some swelling, blurriness, sensitivity to light, mental anxiousness. - Healing is going faster than expected. The first afternoon was very foggy but by the next morning I was seeing quite well. - The pre-surgery nurse was kind and comforting. Everything went fast and smoothly. Things to know- - Anxiety drug given before procedure was not very strong for me and wore off quickly. Just be aware you will not be "knocked out" by this, but it will be fine. - One of my eyes cleared up MUCH faster than the other, causing me some brief worry about the slow one. They evened out by the next day! Do not panic. - Only a few days out but I am definitely experiencing some halos, especially in mixed-light settings. Also if the light hits at an angle, I get a brief glimmer around the edges of the ICL. I can update on this later as they say it commonly will finish over time. - One of my lenses was an astigmatism lens, even though I was not previously treated for it before, and definitely feels like there's a lag in focusing that eye. Will update as they adjust. - Try to avoid your phone screen for as long as possible afterward. It really does make you feel what an eye strain it is to be on our phones so much :) - During surgery you do lose vision completely/ go "black" for a few seconds, and this is normal. You'll adjust back quickly and see the lights above come back into focus!

I've worn contacts/glasses since the fourth grade and always hated it. Glasses never seemed to fit right and contacts would dry my eyes out on long days or rip/fall out at the most inopportune times. I never considered Lasik though until I talked with my eye doctor about it. Since my prescription had been consistent for so many years and I had insurance that would cover part of the procedure he recommended I look into it. The staff at Boston Vision were great and I was scheduled for an assessment quickly and the surgery shortly after that. The procedure itself was a little jarring but the fact that I could see as I was leaving the office was mindblowing. The best part though was waking up the next day and just being able to see everything right away. No glasses, no contacts, just starting my day able to see. It's life changing

I had EVO ICL with Boston Vision and overall had a very smooth experience. The team was kind and organized, and the surgery day and early post-op visits were clearly explained. I appreciated the detailed instructions and follow-up care. I’m still in the healing period, but overall I’m grateful for the care I received and would recommend Boston Vision to others considering ICL.

What made me decide now was the time for Lasik? I've been thinking about it for a while, and after a visit with my eye doctor, he said I was a good candidate and recommended the team over at Boston Lasik. I am a father of 3 wearing glasses and contacts with a -2 and -2.5 prescription to see far away. As many parents know, it's a lot to throw contacts in everyday and/or wear glasses and most recently my kids stepped on my eye glasses. Naturally, I thought that was a sign and ultimately my deciding factor for why now. I met with refractive optometrist Nirali Patel and Surgeon Dr. Vinny Keshav in the Milford, MA location. Both were very thorough in the free LASIK consultation, I went back a second time because I was a candidate for either Lasik or PRK, ultimately they recommended Lasik given the thorough scans taken of my eyes. They answered all my questions and made me feel at ease throughout the entire consult stage. Come surgery day, I had mine done in Andover, MA and again they were very thorough with rechecking my eyes and walking me through all the steps leading up to surgery and post surgery. Dr. Keshav did my surgery and made me feel at ease the entire time, he explained to me every step before it was about to happen and in a matter of minutes it was finished. I'm very glad I decided to get Lasik, and I'm very glad I decided to go with Boston Lasik. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering to meet with the team at Boston Lasik.

I had my ICL procedure about two months ago and I’m really happy with the results. The procedure was painless, with only some mild discomfort. I couldn’t see much right after because my eyes were dilated, but my vision was clear the very next day. I had some halos for the first few weeks, but they’re completely gone now. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend ICL at Boston Vision to anyone thinking about it.

I had very short sight ~ -7.0 prescription and I was finding glasses and contact lenses uncomfortable and awkward. ICL changed my life. I can now play with my kids at the beach without worry. Highly recommended.

I got lasik done with Dr Brenner and the team at Boston Vision, and it was the best experience. I was very nervous, but it went amazing. The procedure itself was quick and painless. I am so happy I got it done.

I had a great experience at Boston Vision for my LASIK procedure. The staff was friendly, professional, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. The procedure was quick, recovery was smooth, and my vision is amazing now! Definitely glad I did it and I highly recommend them.

I had Lasik eye surgery recently at Boston Vision with Dr James Gregoire and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the initial consultation to the procedure itself and the follow up care, the entire experience was professional, reassuring and surprisingly easy. The staff at Boston Lasik made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I am extremely grateful that I Chose Boston Vision . Christina Moylan

Boston Vision was excellent and I felt supported the entire time. They ran a battery of tests to help determine which vision correction procedure is best for me (ICL) and I was even able to scheudle my surgery within a month (though I may have gotten lucky there). On the day of the surgery, they put in an extensive series of drops to numb and dilate my eyes. My eyes are extremely sensitive from contacts-related chronic inflammation, so I think I was more sensitive to these drops than most people. The actual surgery took about 10 minutes. The surgery was painless, but not exactly pleasant. However, Dr. Brenner and his team did an excellent job of walking me through each step patiently and explaining what they were doing, helping to keep me calm while also moving as fast as possible to minimize discomfort. I had a decent amount of stinging and pain for an hour after the procedure, but that began to disappear quickly after I took tylenol. By evening, my eyes mostly felt fine, and this morning my eyes feel excellent. Only very mild (1/10) discomfort in one eye that I'm sure will be gone by tonight, and my vision is nearly 20/20 and expected to improve even more as my eyes finish healing. All in all, the procedure itself and immediate recovery were a little uncomfortable, but Boston Vision and Dr. Brenner made the procedure quick and painless, and the quick recovery and 20/20 vision were worth it. I'm very glad I made the decision to get ICL thorugh Boston Vision!

I had LASIK in my right eye with Dr. Brenner at Boston Vision Brookline one week ago and I am loving the results. My vision has majorly improved (20/15 now) and the dry eye side effects are improving each day. The procedure itself was very quick and smooth. All of the staff were incredibly kind and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Brenner in particular was fantastic and he answered all of my questions. During the procedure itself I felt some pressure and it was a bit uncomfortable but overall was very easy and took less than 10 minutes. I highly recommend Dr. Brenner and Boston Vision.

The entire process was smooth and well managed. I couldn’t believe how quickly the process was, particularly on the day of the procedure. I was in the OR no more than 10 minutes. Painless procedure apart from pressure with the flap. Went home and took the 4 hour nap recommended. I did not experience any significant pain/burning and have had no dry eye two weeks out! I used the drops as recommended and use the lubricating drops 1-2 times daily at present. My 1-day preop confirmed 20-15 vision in both eyes. Occasional blurred vision as my vision is adjusting post-op. But generally clear vision day 1. I have noticed slight halos/starbursts with lights. Although this is improving with time. Couldn’t be happier!

The whole process was very simple and explained effectively. From the doctors to the techs, everyone made the experience seamless and comfortable. The procedure itself was fast, easy, and pain free. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended place for vision correction, everyone is friendly and efficient. Procedure went well

I came to Boston Vision for a vision correction consultation. I've been high myopic (near-sighted) most of my life, and I wore glasses or contact lenses daily. I was a selected as a candidate for the Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) surgery, and I underwent the surgery with Dr. Jason Brenner. My quality of life has improved significantly since having the ICL surgery. I highly recommend the ICL surgery for candidates who do not qualify for other vision correction surgeries. Thank you Dr. Brenner and the Boston Vision team!

I just got Lasik with Dr Brenner and the team at Boston Vision, and it was the best experience. I was very nervous the day of, but I was reassured by the team throughout. The procedure itself was quick and painless. As soon as I sat up in the OR I was able to see the clock!

Very cool experience for me. First few hours was a bit blurry, but then became more and more clear. I can finally get rid of my glasses and contact lenses, it feels amazing. The night vision was also perfect, and I loved it very much. The vault of my right eye is a bit higher than we expected, but it's not a huge problem. And I've been told that the vault would decrease over time. So hopefully it would lower to the ideal height.

Boston Vision is comprised of the most trustworthy and thorough professionals, and their dedication is apparent. From learning about the procedure to being in the operating room to the post-op follow-ups, the team was extremely diligent. I wish I had gone to the team years ago for the procedure. To Dr. Melki, Dr. Brenner, and the entire Boston Vision team - thank you!

I had lasik monovision correction 3 days ago. In terms of my care at Boston Vision- I've felt very supported before, during, and after the surgery. It is true- the longest parts of the whole process is the vision testing before the surgery! I was in the OR for a very short time. Dr. Brenner has a great bed side manner, he's very personable and conversational - even during the procedure which helped me calm down. The beginning of the procedure was the part I had the most anxiety through- there is a lot of pressure around the eye/on the orbital bone and your eye sight goes out for a few seconds which can be a little scary. Dr. Brenner let me know that portion was only 15-20 seconds and it was the worse part- he was right. I kept mentally thinking "this is temporary..." and that helped. The lasering does not hurt, I had no sensations from that except a slight "burning" smell only with one eye. After the surgery I went home (had to eat with my eyes closed because of "tiredness" feeling, constant tearing, and overall drowsiness from the anxiety medication). I went right to sleep and slept comfortably for 4 hours. The first 3 full days I experienced discomfort (grittiness, tiredness, headache above my eyes, some itchiness in the corners of my eyes and an overall "fuzzy" tired feeling that made me want to rub my eyes but I knew I couldn't!) If I looked at my phone for more than 10 mins or so I felt straining on my eyes. I did a lot of sleeping day of surgery, and the following day. Day 4 now, and my eyes feel much more normal. Eye sight is still blurry some and I have a fair amount of light glare and rainbows around lights. If you have the ability to take a couple days off from work, major responsiblities in the couple days following surgery day, I think it will help. I've found myself just wanting to lay down and close my eyes and rest. I've had a headache every day but tylenol has helped (I'm also just a headache sufferer at baseline with stress). My left eye with astigmatism was under-corrected (monovision) so that I would have an easier time reading up close. So far, it causes my distance vision to seem "off" and I can't wait for that eye to catch up a bit and normalize. I'm hoping I end up liking it, but right now it's almost like I forgot to put that contact in, if that makes sense. Happy to answer any questions for anyone! Boston Vision has been great!
