Milford-Franklin Eye Center has been serving the community with advanced, compassionate eye care for more than four decades. With a staff of 59, an award-winning surgery center in Milford, and offices in Milford, Franklin, and now two new locations in Hopkinton and Medfield, we are proud to be one of the leading eye care centers in Massachusetts. We are also one of the few ophthalmology practices in the state to own and operate our own surgical facility, the Cataract Surgery Center of Milford. This means patients can receive world-class cataract surgery close to home. Our team includes fellowship-trained ophthalmologists and five optometrists, offering eyecare for the entire family.

Why Choose Milford-Franklin Eye Center

At Milford-Franklin Eye Center, we treat every patient like family. Our results rival those of major Boston hospitals, and we provide same-day emergency care, Saturday appointments, and a full-service optical shop with an on-site lab. New patients even receive a complimentary pair of select glasses.

We are especially proud of our state-licensed and QUAD A-accredited, state-of-the-art surgery center in Milford. Unlike other practices that may perform cataract surgery in an office setting without anesthesia staff and without IV sedation, our patients have access to a fully accredited surgical facility close to home. At the Cataract Surgery Center of Milford, your safety comes first: all patients receive IV sedation for comfort, and every surgery is staffed with an anesthesiologist.

Most importantly, we live in the same communities we serve. Whether in the office, at the local supermarket, or in the ER at 1 a.m., our focus remains on you, your vision, and delivering world-class care close to home.
