If you suffer from nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, and you feel that glasses or contact lenses limit your activities, LASIK may be right for you. Look beyond a lifetime of glasses and contact lenses…and enjoy a better way to see. When you’re deciding to have surgery on your eyes, you want to know what you can expect. Many surgeons tell you general LASIK results, but most don’t offer specific information about their results with people just like you … and most won’t put it in writing. But we will. No matter what your current situation is, we’ll provide you with specific information about your likelihood of achieving 20/20 vision. There’s no guessing and no generalities. Just the actual data to help you make an informed decision.
With recent advances, more and more people are becoming prime candidates for laser vision correction, even when they’ve been told in the past they were not.

Personalized LASIK Screening
The first step in ensuring you’ll have an excellent outcome is to determine if you are a good candidate. At the Longwood Eye & LASIK Center, our doctors and vision correction counselors will assess your specific visual needs and recommend the best options for you.
Our Lasik Technology
WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser System
We perform all of our treatments on the WaveLight® EX500 Laser, the fastest refractive surgery platform available in the U.S.. The only excimer laser to operate at 500Hz, with an average treatment time of 1.4 seconds per diopter*. Built on trusted WaveLight excimer technology, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser is the next leap forward in fast, accurate refractive laser treatments.
Wavefront Optimization
The WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser utilizes wavefront optimized technology to capture and automatically compensate for the unique curvature of your eyes, allowing your doctor to customize your laser vision correction treatment and preserve the highest quality of vision.
With earlier laser systems, the “optical zone”, or area of correction, was centered on the front of the cornea; the result was a flattened circular area that ended with an abrupt edge, causing unwanted side effects like poor night vision, glare, and halos.
The illustration below demonstrates the use of additional pulses to the cornea periphery which preserves the aspherical shape of the cornea. This compensation, combined with the incredible small 1mm size of the laser beam, produces a smooth, effective optical zone that results in higher quality vision.
PerfectPulse™ Technology and Smart Energy Control
The Allegretto laser is the fastest and most precise laser system with the ability to treat the widest range of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The PerfectPulse Technology™ safely and accurately controls every single laser pulse from start to finish. It is applied to help ensure safe and precise work at high speed.
Smart Energy Control automatically measures and balances the energy level to ensure that each laser pulse delivers the same accurate result. After the beam has been created, it passes through three check points, where the energy level is checked and adjusted if necessary, ensuring that the beam is perfectly attuned to its destination.
Eye Tracking Technology
High-speed eye tracking is used to follow the eye’s fastest movements. Every 4-6 milliseconds, the eye’s location is measured and the internal mirrors of the WaveLight are automatically aligned. Just before each pulse is released, a final check is made to confirm the position of the eye. This happens 200 times every second, once for every laser pulse.
As a result of these unique technologies, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser is completely controlled, achieving the most accurate level of correction possible.
Oculus Pentacam
The Oculus Pentacam is an essential tool for diagnosis and management of corneal, cataract, and refractive surgery.
The innovative technology of the Pentacam has enabled physicians to analyze the front surfaces of the eye with an accuracy that was previously not available, thus permitting them to diagnose eye conditions and diseases with greater confidence.
The pentacam captures a high resolution image of the anterior eye segment and provides information from the anterior corneal surface to the posterior crystalline capsule. The images generated are three-dimensional rotating models used for corneal topographic and chamber analysis. They are movable presentations that are highly reliable and precise.
Key advantages of the rotating image process are:
- Precise measurements of the central cornea
- The correction of the eye’s movement
- The easy fixation for the patient
- Extremely short examination time
Best Diagnostic Technology for LASIK Treatment
We use only the most advanced diagnostic equipment to determine your candidacy with the utmost confidence. During your free 60-minute consultation, we’ll perform a thorough examination including:
- auto-refraction
- pupillometry
- corneal topography
- pachymetry
These tell us about, not only your prescription but the size of your pupils, the shape, health and thickness of your cornea, and the level of aberrations present in your visual system. All are critical in determining if LASIK is right for you.

What is 20/20 Vision?
Generally speaking, if your visual acuity is determined to be 20/20, you see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision sees at 20 feet. Comparatively, if you have 20/40 vision, you see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision could see from 40 feet. And, if you’re one of the lucky ones who has 20/15 vision, you can see at 20 feet what others would have to move up to 15 feet to see.
Will I See 20/20 After LASIK?
After LASIK, most patients see as well, if not better, than they did with their glasses or contacts. As a matter of fact, one thing that makes our office special, is that we’ll provide you with our actual results with other patients as your same prescription – in writing. Whatever your prescription, we’ll provide you with specific information about your likelihood of achieving 20/20 vision. No guessing. No generalities. Just the actual data to help you make an informed decision.

LASIK Eye Surgery Results
Results matter most. So be sure to research what other patients are saying about their own experience with your surgeon. Specifically, look for reviews about how they were treated, before, during and after their LASIK procedure.
Also, pay attention to their reviews about their vision after LASIK. How well do they see? Are they happy with their vision? Your LASIK experience should be both enjoyable and effective. Taking time to identify top surgeons with outstanding patient care will help you achieve both.

Testimonials
The staff (people behind the counter) are always pleasant and helpful. Dr. Warren, Dr. Lotufo, and Dr. Ying have been so very helpful in teaching me how to manage my glaucoma medication and reassuring me about the healthy status of my macula. I always feel comfortable and well cared for, and my questions get complete and helpful answers. Since Dr. Warren did my cataract surgery I have the best, clearest vision I have ever had in my whole life and I am so grateful to receive all this wonderful care (and effective prescriptions) through my health insurance without having to manage all the paperwork myself. These people are the best, I can't recommend them highly enough!January 26, 2025
Recently, I met with my eye doctor, Dr. Thomas Maher. He is friendly, informative, helpful, and easy to talk to. We had a discussion about cataract surgery, and I felt secure with going forward with my surgery with Dr. John Warren. I had my surgeries and all went well. Dr. Warren and the staff at the Center were caring and informative. I am very satisfied with my results.January 26, 2025
I was seen by Dr. Aaron Fay. His team and he were very thorough, professional and kind. I felt very well taken care of. All my questions were answered completely. The staff were quite knowledgeable. I left there completely satisfied and highly recommend Longwood Eye & Lasik. I was just seen more recently by Dr. Glavine. She is very kind, professional, thorough and friendly. The doctors and staff seem consistent in how they treat patients. This is reassuring and will keep me going back. I definitely recommend this office for excellent eye care and satisfaction.January 25, 2025

Longwood Eye & LASIK is an amazing company. On first observation, it appears as if it's a factory of sorts. The regimented processes of evaluation and people moving through the many steps of what it takes to properly evaluate eyes is time consuming...and people in the midst of it all move through the place steadily. Lots of waiting area room! I've been in the building when it's been crowded, and not so crowded, and it's very busy as if in an airport! I've seen and spoken to 6 different techs and one main doctor, Dr. Benoit, when bringing friends in for evaluation and surgeries. The techs are ALL well versed in what they need to do and relate the information of what they are doing very easily. A lot is VERY complex, but they relate it all in basic and easily understandable terms. Dr. Benoit is a champion who handles explaining critical surgery in a variety of ways and is simply SUPER to make what can be a scary process into something one can relax about. On surgery day, if you drop somebody off for surgery, don't go too far, as they will be ready very quickly, unlike a hospital where a 5am arrival and recovery time for surgeries can be a half a day! I needed to go home, 15 minutes away from the facility after a surgery drop off, and 30 minutes after I got settled the phone rang with one of the associates saying my friend was all set and ready to go home! So fast! She was very comfortable and had some precautions to deal with, but certainly nothing that seemed different than a standard medical appointment for a shot, as an example. So, it's great that the Westside Center is in the middle of the largest shopping and restaurant center around. Shop, eat, sit and read or use your phone, and pretty soon your patient will be ready to go back home! I'll be ready for cataract surgery sooner than later, and I'll be there to go through all I need to do for me instead of others, and am actually looking forward to it! What a great place right in Westside!! GREAT people make it that way.January 25, 2025
Longwood Eye and Dr. Warren were amazing for my ASA eye surgery in September! Such a great experience and very informative with every step.January 17, 2025
As always the office is clean, well staffed and efficiently ran. The wait time minimal. Dr. Ying was excellent and answered all of my questions. When I checked out, I was able to schedule my next appointment at a time convenient for me.January 17, 2025
I called 20 places and then called this place and they got me an appointment for that week! While I was there for a routine eye check up so I could get contacts, the doctor noticed I had retina detachment and called a retina specialist in to come look at my eyes right then and there! I left with an appointment to fix the problem and would have never even known there was one without these great doctors who went above and beyond!January 17, 2025
The staff is excellent as always. Dr Ying is wonderful. I’ve had 4 procedures total with Dr. Warren and Dr. Ying and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for treatment.January 17, 2025
