I am pretty fond of parelli, but it sounds like you decided on that front.

Damn, well, I see what you said however I feel that I must speak in defense of Parrelli Optical and specifically Jonathan Parrelli. After a terrible experience with the contact lens service at Mass. Eye and Ear that not only left me with lenses I couldn't wear but also more-or-less permanent damage to my eye, Jonathan was able to fit my extremely astigmatic eyes with rigid gas permeable lenses that actually both work extremely well (I see two lines better on the eye chart with them than with the best prescription possible for glasses) and also fit properly. Particularly if you're astigmatic or have other unusual problems and you want or feel you may want rigid lenses, he's the man to see.

No affiliation, just a very satisfied customer. And I recommend that you avoid the contact lens service at Mass. Eye and Ear - although actual doctors I have dealt with over there are pretty great.

I don't wear contacts but for my eye exam, I loved Dr. Duane Smith at Lenscrafters in the Galleria

Affiliated with the Wellington Circle Lenscrafters, but exam practice is separate.

My family has used his practice for years, both for glasses and contacts.

Reliable, pleasant, professional.

I wear glasses, but the doctor at EyeQ in Harvard Square is great.

If you have medical insurance that covers such things, i would strongly recommend Dr. Nayiri Ajoian (Harvard Vanguard's Davis Sq. office). She is thorough, professional, and patient in doing those last few tiny adjustments that make such a difference in my glasses.

Dr. Lawrence Phillips (http://www.lawrencephillips.com/) of Brattle Square Optical is Dr. Contact Lens, according to other people I know who wear them--I've only seen him for glasses because I hate touching my eyeball, but I have had very good experiences with him.

Looks like I'm late and there are already a bunch good options here, but I'll throw in a plug for my doctor, Karen Lewis at Central Square Eye Care in case someone comes through the memories.

I can't recommend for anything too fancy, as I've only had routine yearly exams and prescription updates, but I like her enough that I followed her to Central Square when she moved to this new practice. Which really means something in my case because I tend not to be too picky about my doctors (is that weird?), and in other cases (PCP, dentist, etc) have have always just stuck with the practice when my doctor leaves and taken whichever new doctor I'm reassigned to.

(There's another doctor there as well, but I have never seen him, so no opinion either way.)
