Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery procedures utilize premium intraocular lenses to restore clear vision. Board-certified surgeons perform this common outpatient procedure using cutting-edge technology, with most patients experiencing improved vision within days. The treatment addresses clouded lenses through precise removal and replacement, often correcting additional vision issues like astigmatism during the same procedure.
LASIK Surgery
We offer bladeless LASIK and traditional laser vision correction for permanent vision improvement. Our ophthalmologists use precise corneal mapping to create customized treatment plans, effectively correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The quick, painless procedure typically allows patients to resume normal activities within 24 hours while significantly reducing dependence on corrective lenses.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our comprehensive glaucoma management includes early detection through advanced diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans to prevent vision loss. We employ both medical therapies and surgical interventions like laser trabeculoplasty to effectively control intraocular pressure, with regular monitoring to ensure optimal disease management and preservation of visual field integrity.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
These thorough evaluations assess both visual acuity and overall eye health through a series of diagnostic tests. Our doctors examine refractive errors, eye coordination, and internal structures to detect conditions like macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy at their earliest stages, ensuring timely intervention when needed.
Eyelid Surgery
This cosmetic and functional procedure addresses sagging or drooping eyelids through precise surgical correction. Available for both upper and lower eyelids, the surgery removes excess skin and fat deposits to improve vision obstruction and rejuvenate facial appearance, with customized approaches for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Went to see Dr. Bolliger for a very sore left eye. Had to wait over 30 minutes and my eye was throbbing and any light was killing me. He said I had a tear and gave me a gel antibiotic and no pain killer even though my eye was throbbing and I had to keep closed. Luckily my cousin is an ophthalmologist in Oregon and was able called in Ofloxacin and Ketorolac Tromethamine. Felt better in 30 minutes. Useless!

While the staff was very professional, my surgeon behaved very unprofessionally when he handed me a letter proselytizing his religion. Avoid this practice if that isn't what you want from your doctor.

Great experience. Most of all, now I can function without eye glasses from day one. No glasses since age 14. Imagine that? I will need glasses for driving. Doctor David Yi is a superb surgeon. He has a great deal of experience, attentive, highly skilled, and highly professional. His assessment and successful surgery led me to much improved vision. You cannot ask more for eye surgeon. The anesthesiologist who attended me was superb.
I felt completely at ease knowing that I was in good hands. Nurse at the operating room, Pat was awesome, provided a comfort and feeling of trust. Ally, Certified Opthalmic Assistant, excellent, Celine, surgery coordinator, excellent, Brook, In taker, excellent, other nurses, assistants, office staff all very kind and pleasant. I highly recommend this practice!

The office staff is organized and really friendly. I have nothing but good things to say about the Chelmsford office. I waited only a couple of minutes before I was called in for my appointment. Dr. Hamill is great. Honestly everyone was awesome I wish I could remember everyone's name. I recommend this office highly.

Love the doctor (Dr. Kong and her associate), however, waited 30 minutes in waiting room. Which made me anxious with strict Covid precautions still in prevalent. I then waited another 10 minutes while in exam room.
