Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial implants to restore clear vision. Our specialists use advanced techniques like femtosecond lasers and premium intraocular lenses to correct astigmatism and presbyopia. Patients benefit from shorter recovery times, reduced dependency on glasses, and improved visual clarity for activities like driving and reading. This outpatient procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing vision impairment due to aging or medical conditions like diabetes.
LASIK Surgery
LASIK reshapes the cornea using excimer lasers to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Custom wavefront-guided treatments minimize glare and halos while enhancing night vision. Candidates enjoy rapid recovery, with most achieving 20/20 vision within days. Our board-certified surgeons perform pre-operative evaluations to ensure suitability, offering alternatives like PRK for patients with thin corneas or dry eyes.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma management focuses on reducing intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage. Treatments include medicated eye drops, laser trabeculoplasty, and microsurgical procedures like trabeculectomy. Regular monitoring through tonometry and visual field tests ensures early intervention. Our specialists emphasize patient education about risk factors, including family history and diabetes, to preserve vision long-term.
Retina Care
Retina care addresses conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment. Advanced diagnostics, including OCT imaging, enable precise treatment planning. Options range from anti-VEGF injections for wet AMD to laser photocoagulation for diabetic leaks. Our team prioritizes early detection to prevent irreversible vision loss, offering urgent care for sudden symptoms like floaters or vision loss.
Optical Shop
Our optical shops provide prescription glasses, contact lenses, and sunglasses with competitive pricing. Patients receive expert guidance on lens options, including progressive and anti-reflective coatings. The Wakefield and Winchester locations feature a wide selection of frames for all ages, ensuring both functional and stylish eyewear solutions. We also offer fittings for specialty contact lenses to address complex vision needs.

Worse PLACE To ATTEND. STAFF Is very UN Professional. They don't follow the HIPPA LAW once a pt leaves they start talking about them. NO sanitation with Codvi surging they should be disinfecting after each patient

Had cataract surgery on both eyes. Opted to pay extra to have vision corrected at same time and get rid of my glasses. After surgery, astigmatism appeared, which was not seen prior. Now I have 2 different prescriptions for glasses and no resolution to this issue.

I was referred here and was so impressed. A really thorough exam, and they pointed out some issues that no other optometrist had told me about.

If you have Wet AMD, you want Dr. Witkin! Eye injections are not pleasant, but this doctor is wonderful. I've been going there since 2004 and everyone in there is great. Would highly recommend them.

I was surprised by the number of people in the waiting area when I arrived for my exam - at least 20, including staff. (If it were a restaurant I would've left). No temp check upon arrival and no survey RE any COVID symptoms. A lot of elderly patients, too. I arrived on time, and waited in the lobby for nearly an hour past my appointment time. I think the docs are competent but I doubt I'll be returning given how the office is being run.
