Dr. Wu and Dr. Goldstein named Top Doctors

Dr. Wu and Dr. Goldstein named among the Best Doctors in America: February 2006 "Top Doctor" issue of Boston Magazine.

Drs. Helen K. Wu and Michael H. Goldstein are board-certified ophthalmologists who specialize in refractive surgery. These gifted surgeons have performed laser vision correction on thousands of patients to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. They are considered experts in refractive surgery and carry on the rich tradition of Tufts University and the New England Eye Center as leaders in LASIK technology.

Excimer-laser-based refractive surgery was first performed at the New England Eye Center in 1991 as part of the initial FDA clinical trials on PRK. These trials ultimately led to the approval of the excimer laser for vision correction in 1995. The New England Eye Center was one of the first centers in the Boston area to offer LASIK after its approval. Drs. Wu and Goldstein have trained numerous other ophthalmic surgeons on new advances in laser vision correction and are coveted speakers. The focus of the New England Eye Center is to do everything in our power to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.


New England Eye Center

The New England Eye Center is chosen by LASIK patients for three reasons: our surgeons' experience, commitment to quality care, and patient satisfaction. The surgeons and staff of the New England Eye Center evaluate each patient meticulously and determine the best individual treatment. For LASIK, the LADARVision custom wavefront system is used. This state-of-the-art technology provides a measurement of the corneal curvature of each patient in minute detail and then programs this "corneal map" into the excimer laser. The laser then precisely reshapes the cornea to the highest precision, thus ensuring the best possible visual outcome.

Patients are under the best care with Dr. Wu's expert hands and vast experience.

In addition to LASIK, the New England Eye Center also offers PRK, LASEK, and Epi-LASIK for laser vision correction. CK (conductive keratoplasty for the correction of presbyopia), Crystalens (a new IOL that corrects both near and distance vision) and INTACS (removable corneal inserts for the correction of myopia and keratoconus) are also offered at our center.
