Since founding Boston Eye Group in 2000, we have relentlessly pursued both improvement in patient experience and innovation in academic medicine. This stems from our philosophy that only through dedicated emphasis on both scientific pursuit and patient satisfaction can we deliver the best possible medical care.
Boston Eye Group is an academic private practice, at the vanguard of eye care and patient service. Our dedication to research, education, and innovation are embodied in cutting-edge experimental studies, the publication of our findings in medical journals and textbooks, and successful surgical breakthroughs. In patient service, we measure and track surgical outcomes, complications, patient flow, wait times, and overall experience with the goal of achieving the highest level of patient satisfaction.
Until recently, if you were one of the millions of people with a refractive error, eyeglasses and contact lenses were the only options for correcting vision. But with the arrival of refractive surgery, some people with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism (a cornea with unequal curves), may have their vision improved through surgery.
LASIK is usually performed as an outpatient procedure using topical anesthesia with drops. The procedure itself generally takes about fifteen minutes. The surgeon creates a flap in the cornea with a microkeratome. The flap is lifted to the side and the cool beam of the excimer laser is used to remove a layer of corneal tissue. The flap is folded back to its normal position and sealed without sutures. The removal of corneal tissue permanently reshapes the cornea.
As a surgeon, I did an extensive amount of research prior to my lasik procedure. After several months I chose Dr. Melki and the Boston Laser not only based on his credentials, but from “asking around” at work. The evaluation was extremely thorough. I was actually followed clinically for one month prior to my procedure to ensure I was an ideal candidate. My procedure went well and the day after I was 20/15 in each eye. I still am in disbelief that I no longer need glasses or contacts. Thank you!
I've been wearing glasses or contacts for the past 15 years. I've always had very dry eyes so over the years wearing contacts every day had become a struggle. I decided to do lasik and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done! Waking up with crystal clear vision is amazing. I can’t thank Dr. Melki and his team enough!!
