Tracy K Hairston, OD

Dr. Hairston was professional and friendly. I saw him today and he quickly diagnosed a potential problem. Beyond being obviously well qualified, this doctor actually has a personality unlike other ophthalmologists I’ve been to, which is refreshing. I will return.

Prompt, professional service is what I received from Dr. Hairston and his staff.
His office has a vast selection of awesome eyewear.
Dr. Hairston’s eye exam is hands down the best and he caters to your needs and listens to your concerns.
I am thrilled about taking the leap and trying the bi-​focal contact lenses.
It’s life-​changing! No more looking around for my glasses!
However, I did see a cute pair of designer eyeglasses at a great price! So now I have options depending on my day!
I highly recommend making an appointment and «seeing» for yourself!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Hairston for the past several years. In this time, I have found him to be an outstanding doctor, who is 100% committed to the care of his patients. He is incredibly thorough in his exams, and always takes the time to listen to any questions or concerns I might have.
Most recently I decided I wanted to wear contact lenses. I have astigmatism and near blur, both of which made finding the right contact lens a bit more challenging. Dr. Hairston’s patience and persistence were unbelievable. He was determined to find a lens that that would work for me, and his extensive knowledge and expertise of contact lenses allowed him to do so. Most doctors would have given up, but not Dr. H! He is always on the quest for what will work; incredibly innovative, kind and caring.
So, I am happily wearing multi-​focal contact lenses, my vision is great, and I cannot thank Dr. Hairston enough. He rates well beyond five stars in my eyes.

Do your homework and know who your doc is in contract with.
Knowledgeable, professional, personable, and painless. I typically dislike eye exams, but this was a good experience (and I even had my eyes dilated). It really helps that they have late hours on Tuesdays for the working 8 – 5 folks. They go the extra mile to make the office a relaxing and inviting place. Extra points added for the super friendly and witty receptionist who came up with a pre-​populated form so that you don’t have that infernal mound of medical history paperwork to do at the get go.
For those considering LASIK– this is just my opinion based solely on my experience. I was referred by this clinic to TLC for vision corrective surgery. I won’t go into too much detail about my level of discomfort with TLC here, however I felt it prudent to get additional opinions at other premier vision correction centers and do my homework. Everyone should– duh! I chose the one that I felt was best suited for me (out of state). I found it well worth the flight. You should be aware that I was told by Dr. Hairston’s receptionist only after the fact that Dr. Hairston has a contract with TLC and cannot see anyone for follow up appointments if she goes elsewhere for LASIK, not even to check the overall health of the eyes. I understand contract limitations — those can be sticky– but the situation raises a big red flag to me. I can tell you the cost at TLC was significantly higher (the difference was about $ 3k) and the recommended surgery (PRK) was more antiquated and just didn’t sit well with me. I don’t regret going elsewhere. I received what I believe is more state of the art surgery, better (and more honest) service and care, but unfortunately will not be back to see Dr. Hairston again.
I still believe he’s a good doctor and would do great for check ups and lenses, but I had to downgrade my rating to three stars due to the sketchy strict contract agreement.

Dr Hairston has been my eye doctor for several years. I have been wearing reading glasses for almost 20 years. Dr Hairston introduced me to contac lens last year that I could wear to read and which would not distort my very good distance vision. This has made such a difference in my personal and professional life! I can work at my computer, see patients and read a menu without taking readers on and off. It is also so helpful using my cell phone. The contacts have been very easy to master inserting and removing. Using my glasses has become a burden to me now. I am very happy with my contacs.

I previously used Natick Eye Associates, but decided to try Dr. Hairston because of all the wonderful things i have heard. Natick Eye treats people in a very cold, businesslike manner and this was a major put off for me.
I can’t say enough for how pleasant and welcoming both Dr. Hairston and his assistant Christine were. Their warmth and professionalism will keep me coming back for years to come.

I made a appointment wit Dr Hairston based on a recommendation from a friend of mine. I called and spoke to a very friendly person over the phone who took my information and setup my visit. Dr Hairston’s office is located right of route nine in Framingham and is very easy to find. When you enter you will notice the large inviting lobby area in a modern office setting.
The receptionist was very friendly and you can tell she likes her job because she engages everyone in a inviting professional manner which is refreshing.
Dr Hairston greeted me and is a very nice person. We sat and talked for a little while about me, my health and family vision history. He took the time to explain to me my options regarding my lens types and what I can expect in performance. I have never had a Optometrist take the time to explain why certain lens perform better than others which gave me a clearer understanding why cheaper lenses are not always better in some cases.
There many choices out there but if you are looking for a very good Optometrist in the MetroWest area Dr, Tracy Hairston at Metro Eye Docs LLC is one of the best you will find.

I’ve been going to Dr. Hairston for the past 17 years. He used to be in the same office as my pediatric ophthalmologist. When I decided I wanted to get contacts, it made sense to start seeing him.
He’s great. Listens to what you have to say, answers any questions you might have. Checks out your peepers to make sure everything’s ok.
The office staff is really friendly, and you can usually get in to see him pretty quickly. Definitely recommended.
