I came from Cape Cod for my visit so it was a long drive for someone who hates to "go over the bridge". I can say it was totally worth it. Everyone in the office was so personable that you found yourself very comfortable waiting for a little bit. I met with Dr. Jost. I felt he was extremely thorough and listened to all my concerns. I would recommend Back Bay Eye Care to everyone I know.

I get very nervous going to the eye doctor, but Dr Lam was very professional, friendly, and patient with answering my questions. The optometry tech Alex was also very friendly and welcoming. The practice is very nice and clean, and I was very impressed with how advanced all the equipment and eye care technology was. Would recommend getting your eye care here!

The opticians are very friendly and helpful. They helped me decide which frame to get by giving me their true opinions of what looked best on me. The doctor was awesome in explaining various aspects of the lense prescription. Also, he introduced meso-zeaxantin to me. I have AMD and I thought I had researched every source of zeaxanthin, but I missed meso-zeaxanthin. Thank you doctor!

I have had such an amazing experience with Dr. Zachary Jost. He is extremely kind, thorough, and attentive with his care. As someone who's been dismissed by doctors in the past Dr. Jost took time to listen to my concerns and do a full work up. I felt safe and listened to in the office. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of an optometrist.
