Lasik

Dr. Kahan and his staff invite a TLC Laser eye care Vision Consultant to visit our office once every 3 months for our interested patients to receive a free Lasik Pre-Evaluation. The consultant carefully screens lasik patients to be certain they are suitable for the procedure. Lasik safely corrects vision problems, such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Lasik takes less than 10 minutes and is performed on an out-patient basis with almost immediate improvement of vision. Dr. Kahan and staff were number 1 in Massachusetts last year for LASIK referrals to TLC of Waltham. We work directly with TLC of Waltham for all your follow up visits and needs. Please feel free to contact our office to set up an appointment today or with any question you may have.

Contacts

Dr Kahan and staff would like to make you feel great wearing contacts.

Common questions from patients,

Can I wear contacts?
-Yes! There are many different lenses to try today. Almost anyone can comfortably wear contacts.

Even Bifocals?
-Yes! There are still several options open for patients that have trouble seeing up close to read, and far away. There are lenses from Bifocals, Progressive lenses to Mono Vision. We are here to make the best of your vision.

What if I never wore contacts before?
-No problem! Dr. Kahan and staff will find a contact lens that fits your eyes best and even your life style. After your exam a staff member will set up a day convenience for you to come back and learn the proper way to insert and remove contact lenses. We also go over with you how to take care of your lenses to get the full use out of them. Once you have completed the class you will try the contact lenses out for a week and return with them on if you are completely happy with them. I you are not happy with them we want to find a pair you are happy with. Once you return with a comfortable pair Dr Kahan will finalize your Prescription and order your contacts. For you convenience we offer rebates with the purchase of a year supply on most brands and we can even mail them to your door.

Free Lifetime Adjustments and No Charge Re-Examinations (Up to 3 months)

While we fit most contact lens patients the same day and have a free emergency loaner lens program, we won't rush through your contact lens fitting. We feel the same way about eyeglasses.

We're so confident you'll be happy with them that we feature free lifetime adjustments and no charge re-examinations for up to 3 months if your prescription is difficult to adjust to.

Contact Lens Designs for the Hard to Fit Contact Lens Wearer

We use computer generated programs to design custom contact lenses. Computer generated contact lenses can fill all kinds of needs. Multifocal (bifocal and trifocal)
Lenses correct for your distance, near (reading) and in-between vision. Single vision lenses are for those who still do not require reading glasses. Toric lenses are fit on eyes with astigmatism. CRT lenses are specially designed lenses used to temporarily reshape your cornea so that your distance vision remains corrected after the lenses are removed. Specially designed contact lenses for irregular corneas due refractive surgery, corneal transplantation, corneal degenerations, corneal dystrophies, and Keratoconus. For the first time computer generated contact lenses can correct very distorted corneas thus restoring good, clear, functional vision. Using this type of tool is a revolutionary approach to manage these very unique problems.
