Drs. Wu, Goldstein and Hu perform LASIK surgery with the leading edge VISX S4 Excimer Laser Platform to provide the best possible vision correction results.

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. New England Eye Center was one of the first centers in the Boston area to offer LASIK after its approval. Drs. Wu, Goldstein and Hu 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.

More About Vision Correction at New England Eye Center

New England Eye Center uses the IntraLase FS Laser to provide blade-free or all-laser LASIK.

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 New England Eye Center evaluate each patient meticulously and determine the best individual treatment. For LASIK, the VISX STAR S4 laser platform with CustomVue technology is used. This state-of-the-art laser platform incorporates sophisticated WaveScan Wavefront technology, which provides a measurement of the corneal curvature of each patient's eye in minute detail. This "corneal map" is then programmed into the excimer laser. After creating a tiny flap in the patient's cornea using the advanced Intralase femtosecond laser, the excimer laser is used to precisely reshape the cornea to the highest precision, thus ensuring the best possible visual outcome.
In addition to LASIK, New England Eye Center also offers PRK, LASEK and Epi-LASIK for laser vision correction. CK (conductive keratoplasty for the correction of presbyopia), Crystalens, ReStor and ReZoom are available for patients with Cataracts (an intraOcular lens that corrects both near, Intermediate and distance vision) are also offered at our center.
