Patient Information Guide
Lexington Eye Associates

The physicians and professional staff of Lexington Eye Associates are pleased to be able to care for you and your entire family. For over thirty years, we have provided our valued patients with the highest quality eye health services. Despite today's changing-and sometimes confusing-health care environment, we continue to understand our patients' needs and strive to deliver the finest specialized treatment in accessible and convenient settings.

Lexington Eye Associates offers a full range of ophthalmic services to patients of all ages. These services include comprehensive adult and pediatric eye examinations, diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, both medical and surgical; as well as emergency and in-hospital eye care. We provide complete contact lens services in our Contact Lens Department. Our staff also includes several orthoptists who specialize in evaluating and treating children with eye muscle imbalances and "lazy" eyes. Our staff of ophthalmic technicians works directly with the physicians in providing eye exams and several types of specialized testing.

All the ophthalmologists at Lexington Eye Associates are recognized as leaders in health delivery and disease prevention. We are board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and hold teaching positions at Harvard Medical School, Tufts Medical School, and Boston Children's Hospital. Some of our physicians also have fellowship training in pediatric ophthalmology, glaucoma, retinal surgery, and corneal surgery. Every physician and professional staff member is required to participate in continuing education programs which keeps Lexington Eye Associates at the forefront of the latest techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of eye disease.

As the need arises, Lexington Eye Associates has access not only to our own qualified physicians and in-house specialists, but also to a wide range of consultant physicians and institutions throughout the area. Our staff has admitting privileges at Emerson Hospital, Winchester Hospital, Children's Hospital, Mount Auburn Hospital, and the New England Medical Center.

In the event of an emergency, patients can contact Lexington Eye Associates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Regularly scheduled appointments are available in our suburban locations. Our regular office hours are Monday through Friday with limited appointments on Saturdays.

It is our pleasure to serve you. We welcome any comments or suggestions that you may have to help us improve our services.
