I’m here, after just having gotten fitted with contact lenses (well, one contact lens) by Dr. Lixin Zheng. He’s great! So nice! He has carefully reviewed my medical history and had the perfect contact lens ready to go!

I highly recommend this CHA Malden Eye Center!

The only negative thing is the difficulty finding The itself. There were no signs on the first floor. You have to go to the second floor. Just give yourself an extra ten minutes to find it.
