My experience getting Lasik with Boston Vision was a breeze. I felt very prepared prior to my surgery, they did a great job providing resources that explained pre and post operation instructions as well as exactly what happens during the 12 minute procedure (it's truly over before you know it). After surgery I basically slept the rest of the day. I felt good the next day and great every day after. I'm now 1.5 weeks out from my surgery and I can see great and my eyes feel great, no more contacts or glasses!
I only have good things to say about my experience with Boston Vision. I had Lasik done early Friday morning, and my vision was nearly perfect by 3pm that same day. The results and recovery process are amazing. The procedure itself can be uncomfortable and overwhelming, so those that might suffer anxiety would definitely benefit from the medication offered by the clinic. However, I feel that the team did a good job in giving plenty of information prior to the procedure itself to calm my nerves and inform me of what to expect. Everything so far has been smooth and I'm happy to say that I have 20/20 vision after decades of wearing glasses!
On the day of surgery, the office checked my prescription again before handing me over to Dr Brenner for a brief review of my condition and also ask any questions I had about the surgery. The surgery day was very busy, as many patients were scheduled for surgery. However, the staff at the office were very friendly and made me feel comfortable asking for anything I need to make sure I was comfortable during my wait. The whole visit was a little under 2.5 hours, but the surgery itself took a maximum of 15 minutes. Like many patients mentioned on the internet, expect a burning smell at the time when the laser is operating. There wasn't much I could do on the surgery table. Dr Brenner did a good job communicating what to expect before he does something (i.e., I'm going to do X now so you will feel some pressure; I'm going to do Y so you will feel like you are under water, etc.). I was feeling anxious mostly because there were more people than I expected in the surgery room (maybe 6 or 7) and I didn't take Xanax that was offered haha. The surgery went well. Today is my 7th day post-surgery, and I am so glad I did it!
