We offer multiple therapeutic options including LipiFlow, punctal plugs, and prescription medications while emphasizing patient education about environmental and lifestyle factors affecting ocular surface health.

Dr Galich is friendly, thorough and professional. I love her fun demeanor and she really goes the extra step in evaluating images and connecting the dots with other health data points. The office is sparkling clean and her staff is well coordinated. I highly recommend scheduling an eye exam here. The frames are stylish, and expensive, but service is great.

Great location and service was awesome. Staff are friendly and the place of business is very clean and progressive. They have lots great frames to choose from and somewhat affordable for the designer styles offered. My exam was quick and check out was fast and efficient. Customer service was great. My sons glasses needed adjustments and they took care of it right away. No waiting and no charges for minor adjustments. Great service all around!

Had an appt with Dr. Garlich recently and she's awesome! I'm quite scattered and sometimes random topics/Qs pop-up in my head, and she's able to track and answer them respectively. Compared to my previous eye Dr, Dr. Garlich's definitely way nicer and much more patient.
Also, her assistant is great! I had to take a call right before we had to do the initial eye tests, and she was really nice about it. She was also very patient with the fact that I kept blinking during the eye puff tests. Honestly, I can be such an annoying person, and I love how patient they were! Highly recommend

23 Days for New Frames
It started off well enough. I broke my reading glasses. Based on high ratings here I reached out to Envision. They were very responsive. They said they couldn't replace the broken part but I could buy new (same style) frames if I wanted to. Which was fine by me. The frames needed to be ordered from Spain and it takes two weeks. Not ideal, since these are my primary reading glasses and I use them more than eight hours a day. But I like them so I went with it. Since it takes so long to get the frames, I didn't want any mistakes, so I took my old frames to them

I had an extremely positive experience with Dr. Garlich and the staff at Envision! She is very knowledgeable and helped me feel at ease, especially since I hadn't seen an optometrist in a while. She also took the time to answer all of my questions, which I really appreciated, since that is not the case with every provider. Her staff is also very friendly. On top of everything, the office is located in a convenient location in downtown Boston & is very COVID-safe!

It's pretty rare that I write a review, but I felt compelled to after my visit
today because Dr. Garlich is genuinely the nicest doctor I've ever been. I have anxiety / a bit of an irrational fear of the eye doctor in general, but she was so kind and warm and patient. She had me laughing through out my appointment, was super informative and thorough, answered all of my questions, and was just all around wonderful. The office is clean and pretty and the rest of the staff is super friendly. (AND very Covid safe) Highly, highly recommend!
