Dr. Sheth also is co-medical director of the Lasik Vision Institute in Burlington along with Dr. Horsley.

Dr. Sheth looks forward to joining Dr. Horsley and continuing the family-oriented personal care that the Horsley Eye Center always has been noted for since it was founded by Drs. Margaret and Ernie Horsley nearly 50 years ago.

Dr. Horsley said, “we and the community are fortunate to be gaining the skills and experience of a physician with the qualifications of Dr. Sheth.”

Dr. Will Horsley is one of the most experienced LASIK and refractive surgeons in New England. He is Cornea Fellowship trained and LASIK board certified by the American Board of Eye Surgeons, in addition to being Board Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology.
