The Lexington office, specifically Emily for a ophthalmic technician, is where it's at. We went to a different location first and the technician had an awful time getting the eye drops in my kids' eyes and they were honestly traumatized by it (so was I!!). Emily in the Lexington office is AMAZING with children. She is so kind and caring and gets the kids to do all of the tests and they are psyched about it. From the magic glasses (3D test) to the pirate test (eye charts) to the dreaded eye drops... she is a star. Her method of having the child lie back with closed eyes, put in drops, and then blink, works EVERY time. We first met her when my daughters were 4 or 5 and they still ask if we're going to "the right" eye doctor when we have an appointment. She also keeps her patients updated, moving, and to get to the doctor on time. The doctors are all good across the board and across offices, but it's the technician who makes or breaks the appointment. Thank you Ms. Emily! You are the BEST!

It has been almost 3 weeks since my LASIK procedure and I am in awe of my new eyes! I was very…read morenervous going into it, but looking back I had nothing to worry about! From the initial consultation, the staff were friendly, patient and understanding of my nerves. On the day of my surgery, Dr. Giles was great and made me feel comfortable the entire time. The procedure took less than 20 minutes and was painless. After the procedure I experienced very little discomfort and after a few days, any discomfort I did have completely went away. I experienced dry eyes for the first week, but since then that has also gone away. Being able to see is the greatest gift and I am beyond grateful to TLC for giving me the gift of eyesight. If you are nervous to get LASIK, know that I was too, but wish I hadn't been so nervous because in the end I had such a positive experience.

They performed preliminary exams to diagnose the possibility of surgery. After that, they scheduled the surgery date and, finally, on the day of surgery, they assisted me throughout the procedures and, most importantly, always kept me calm and confident about the surgery. The rest was just personal nerves, a fact beyond their control or mine. However, everything went wonderfully well and according to their plan. I am truly grateful for their professionalism and passion for the work they do. Congratulations to the entire team, especially Dr. Christina La, Brandy, the doctor who performed the surgery, and the friendly lady who performed the initial exams. "I'm sorry I didn't write your name, but you know who you are." Congratulations to the entire team! Excellent work and keep loving what you do. You are the best.

I recently had my first appointment at Lexington Eye Associates and was really pleased with…read moreeverything! First off, they were super flexible with me when trying to get an appointment. The women in the front office were super accommodating to my schedule. I ended up even being a few minutes late because of traffic but was seen right away. Dr. Russo did my contact lens exam and Dr. Lazzarra conducted my eye glass exam. They were both really nice, knowledgeable, professional, and quick. I was in and out of there in no time. The office is located right on Mass Ave in Arlington. There is parking on the street and they have a parking lot. Lexington Eye Associates is a fantastic place. I have also heard great things about their Lasik treatments which is always a plus.

I had my consultation 6/8th/2020 which was roughly around 3 hours and surgery schedule Thursday…read more6/11th/3020. Just a little background on me, I'm 30yrs old I have been short sighted since I was 7. So I've always had to wear glasses which isn't convenient in many ways especially being an athlete. I've Always wanted to get lasik surgery done but have always been contemplating the issue and uncertainty of it and also committing that kind of money towards it. The reason I finally decided to do it is, for the past couple months my eye sight was dramatically getting worse and worse every other day and I was starting to lose my vision in my left eye, So I finally decided to use up all of money in my savings and set up the appointment to get the surgery done during my vacation week. I was praying that I met the requirements to be able to qualify for geting the surgery done. So It was a scary feeling because I know my Vision was getting worse and also excited feeling knowing that it was a chance I could be able to see better without having to wear glasses or contacts. By the way if you wear contacts I would recommend not where them about 2 weeks before your procedure they normally say 7 days is good but I wanted to be extra safe and stop wearing it 2 weeks prior consultation. After About 3 hours of the consultation I was notified that I am elegible for lasik surgery except that my left eye was on the border line of being able to get this procedure done so got me a little nervous. Eli was AMAZING with every single step by step test and very informative and made me feel comfortable about the whole procedure. Also the front desk ladies were great also. I was told Dr.Seth would make the final call on that decision but great news When I found out that I got a green light on the procedure. Now the day of the procedure I was in and out roughly 30mins. But Process itself took about average 5- 6 minutes for each eye. They do Give you eye drops to numb your eyes so you do not feel any pain at all or discomfort, All you can do is feel the pressure but nothing to worry about. Once the procedure was done you do see as if you look in underwater, And just as they recommend when you go home take a nap and follow the medication as schedule. You will see blood shot in the white area of your eyes after surgery that is normal don't be alarm, in about 2-2 1/2 weeks it will clear up and heal. You will need to wear sunglasses for couple weeks as well to protect your eye from accidentally being poked and irritated by the sun. when I woke up the day after surgery I totally could see 20/20 it was an amazing feeling, a moment I have dreamed and prayed about for many years. This has been the best decision I've made in my life and it's definitely worth the money and getting it done. Also fyi it is suggested to get the procedure before the age of 40 if you want to have a chance of great vision. I very much HIGHLY RECOMMENDING GETTING LASIK DONE. You do deal with dryness in the eyes but the artificial eye drops prescribed will help for the next 6 months until the eyes start producing it's own tears. One of the eye drops you need to take for the next 6 months day and night, is really expensive so be ready for that depending on your insurance coverage. $2000 for a 3month supply so just a heads up, all depending what % your insurance covers. But having 20/20 vision that price is worth it . As I write this today July 12 a month later my vision is still great, the dryness is still there especially with the summer heat. I do experience lil blurriness when I first wake up in the morning but that's just from the night eye drop you take before bed bcuz it is a lil creamy compared to the artificial eye drops which is like tears. I have my 1 month follow up this Friday 17th super excited. Hope All of you who are considering getting the surgery by reading this post it helps, I do my best to be as detail and informative and share with you make Experience and I really hope it helps in making a decision and I hope you do decide to get it and you have the same great experience as I do

I already known about my diagnose, but I passed tests again specially for her and paid for it. I waited her about 1 hour!!!! She spoke with me about 10 minutes. She said that she ll do surgery for me. She started filling out the paperwork and abruptly stopped. After that, she left the room and her manager Leilani Ford came into the room. I asked manager "what my next steps?!" And manager said "Kathryn is having a lunch" she will call you later about your procedure. I was shocked! I waited her more than hour and she just left the room because she wanted to eat! This is absolutely unprofessional. Of course, nobody called me later. I just paid money for my tests.....Where is the ethics between patient and doctor? Maybe she doesn't know such words...The Manager Lilani Ford gave me a promise that the Kathryn will call me, and no one called me back after several months. I called many times, left audio messages, but no one answered me. This is maximum disrespect for people who come to you for treatment. Even just call your patient and say that you cannot provide a procedure a much better than just ignoring him. This call takes 5 minutes no more, but if you're arrogant and you don't care about your patient, you don't do this. That's why I can't tell you how good a surgeon she is, but I can tell you for sure that she can simply ignore you without explanation.
