Services
LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery offers permanent vision correction through precise corneal reshaping. Our board-certified surgeons use advanced laser technology to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Patients typically achieve 20/40 vision or better, with most resuming normal activities within 24 hours. The procedure takes 5-7 minutes per eye with minimal discomfort.
Cataract Surgery
Modern cataract removal utilizes phaco-emulsification for rapid recovery and improved visual outcomes. We offer premium intraocular lens implants that provide multi-focal vision correction. The outpatient procedure requires no stitches or patches, with most patients experiencing immediate vision improvement and resuming daily activities quickly.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Annual eye exams include advanced diagnostics for early detection of vision disorders. Our technicians use autorefractors and tonometry to assess visual acuity and eye pressure. Dilated exams allow thorough evaluation of retinal health, enabling early intervention for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Glaucoma Treatment
We provide comprehensive glaucoma management including medicated eye drops, laser trabeculoplasty, and surgical interventions. Our specialists monitor optic nerve damage through regular visual field testing and OCT imaging. Treatment plans focus on preventing vision loss through personalized pressure management strategies.
Contact Lens Fittings
Our practice offers specialized contact lens fittings for astigmatism, presbyopia, and dry eye conditions. We carry premium brands including Air Optix and Biofinity. First-time wearers receive complete training on lens insertion, removal, and care. Annual fittings ensure proper lens fit and eye health maintenance.

Report
Had eye surgery a few years ago and my experience with the practitioner was so unprofessional. Not what I expected and as far as I'm concerned a failure. I asked to have follow up with another and they would not allow. So I never got my follow up and certainly was not go in a room with him. Shame on you Norwich Ophthalmology for allowing such practices allowed. I hope this review helps even one person.

Like so many other providers this one too has become too big. Gone is the patient/doctor relationship. Front office staff rude. They are all young and have no respect or consideration for the elderly. Dr. Goldstein is amazing. He is the ONLY reason I continue to go there.

I brought my 89 year old mother to purchase new glasses, she has issues with hearing and associate rolled his eyes and put head down on desk in disgust. They also ordered wrong lenses and when I called, they blamed us

From check in to check out the staff and Dr. Kivlin were amazing! I highly recommend this office for all your eye care needs. Everyone was very knowledgeable, caring and understanding. They listen and address all questions and concerns without rushing you out.

Report
I cannot recommend this facility. So disappointed with the way I was treated and the outcome of surgery. Told to keep squinting to see chart so it would look good for doc. I went for one month checkup and specifically asked to see another Dr and called ahead and made sure I was able to. Norwich Ophthalmology-is an hour drive. I went there for my scheduled appointment and was told I had to see the rude Dr that did my surgery. Very shady. Cannot recommend
