Boston Eyes in Hopkinton offers complete vision care for families in a convenient downtown location.

Since last fall, Boston Eyes in Hopkinton has been offering the community a fully integrated ophthalmology practice that provides care ranging from routine eye exams to more complex diagnoses and conditions.

“Boston Eyes brings a high level of specialty care by ophthalmologists in a state-of-the-art office,” said Dr. Roger Kaldawy, CEO of Boston Eyes in Hopkinton. “Patients have access to all kinds of specialties, often on the same day, if not the same hour, for urgent care.”

Located downtown, Boston Eyes offers access to an optical lab and features high-quality frames and lenses to suit all ages and budgets. Its collection of eyewear features affordable to high-end, exclusive brands with the latest in eyewear technologies.

Like other practices in town, Boston Eyes has optometrists on staff for routine vision health needs. In addition, the practice has ophthalmologists who can treat a range of complex conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Boston Eyes is part of the Milford-Franklin Eye Center, a privately owned practice that also includes the Cataract Surgery Center of Milford.

“We have a licensed and accredited surgery center in Milford, so patients do not have to travel to Waltham or Boston,” noted Kaldawy. “It’s within network for most insurance.”

Caring for families is a priority for Boston Eyes. While children may be screened in school, Kaldawy advises that parents use their instincts. If a child is having vision issues, such as difficulty seeing details or poor concentration, they should be examined. He also cited a rise in myopia (nearsightedness) due to the increased screen time spent by children and teens.

“Because we are a practice with multiple offices, we are able to bring excellent, well-trained staff who are very well known and liked by their patients,” added Kaldawy. “They connect with their patients, are good listeners and treat everyone like family.”

For adults, Kaldawy urges everyone to know their family’s eye history. He urges adults over the age of 40 to talk to their eye-care provider about genetic eye diseases and associated risks.

Kaldawy and his associates strive to advance eye care and hope to prevent degenerative eye conditions with early detection. He is proud of Boston Eyes’ state-of-the-art equipment, such as the Optomap, an ocular retinal scanner that can detect retinal disease, which can be difficult to see with the naked eye. He cited the increasing prevalence of macular degeneration with the growing elderly population. Boston Eyes has been among the first in the state to offer photobiomodulation (PBM), a newly FDA-approved treatment for dry macular degeneration.

“In the past, we used to tell patients that there was nothing we could do for dry macular degeneration, but now we offer are treatments that can delay the occurrence of the disease,” said Kaldawy.

Boston Eyes, located at 66 Main Street, is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and one Saturday per month, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., with plans to expands its hours in the fall. Patients can book online at bostoneyeshopkinton.com or by phone at 508-528-3344.
