Patient Services

Eye Service (Optometry / Ophthalmology)

OVERVIEW
CARE PROVIDERS
RESOURCES & LINKS

Overview

The MIT Eye Service is now seeing select patients for onsite visits. To create the safest possible environment for both patients and providers, fewer people will be in the clinic and appointments will be scheduled to allow thorough cleaning between exams.

Because of this, the number of appointments is quite limited, and we will be seeing patients with the most pressing needs first. We hope to open for more services in the near future. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

You may contact us directly through HealthELife or by phone at 617-258-9768. We may be able to offer a remote consultation without an in-person visit.

Our Eye Service provides a complete range of services, including:

  • Optometry: Exams and treatment of eye diseases
  • Ophthalmology: Consultations, surgical care, and further treatment of eye diseases
  • Contact lenses: Comprehensive contact lens care, including fitting, dispensing, and consultation; we can also order your lenses for you.
