With a staff of 59, an award-winning surgery center in Milford, and offices in Milford, Franklin, and our new locations in Hopkinton and Medfield, we remain one of the leading eye care centers in Massachusetts.

New Offices: Expanding to Serve the Community

Boston Eyes in Hopkinton

Located at 66 Main Street, our new Hopkinton office provides comprehensive eye exams, contact lens services, surgical consultations, and a wide eyewear selection. With more than 24 years of connection to the Hopkinton community, we bring top-tier eye care directly to local residents.

Boston Eyes in Medfield–Millis

Our newest office serves Medfield, Millis, Dover, Sherborn, and Westwood. This renovated, convenient location offers eye exams for adults and children, contact lens fittings, and care for cataracts, glaucoma, diabetes, and retina conditions.

Why Choose Milford–Franklin Eye Center

At Milford–Franklin Eye Center, every patient is treated like family. Our outcomes rival those of major Boston hospitals, and we offer 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, QUAD A–accredited, state-of-the-art surgery center in Milford. Unlike practices that perform cataract surgery in office settings without anesthesia staff or IV sedation — and where patients are often needlessly charged extra “office-based surgery fees” — our patients receive the highest level of safety while staying in-network and benefiting from true ambulatory surgery center quality. No office-based surgery fees with us. Every procedure includes IV sedation and is staffed by anesthesiologists to ensure the safest and most comfortable experience.

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

As we look ahead to 2026, when it comes to quality eye care, you have one address: Milford–Franklin Eye Center.

Wishing our communities and patients a happy, healthy, and safe new year.
