- GlaucomaGlaucoma is one of the most common reasons for vision loss in the world. It is difficult to diagnose because in most patients there are no symptoms until the disease is very advanced and permanent vision loss has occurred. This is one of the reasons regular routine eye exams are important for older patients.
- OphthalmologyDr. Boulter decided to pursue a career in ophthalmology as an undergraduate when he saw the impact that poor vision can have on a community while spending two years in Peru. He takes joy in and is committed to helping his patients achieve better vision and improved quality of life. He enjoys serving the southern New Hampshire community and plans to actively engage in medical outreach abroad.
- Macular DegenerationMacular degeneration is one of the most common causes of profound vision loss in the industrialized world. Risks factors for macular degeneration include advancing age, smoking, and a family history of the disease. Remarkable advancements in treatment have been made in the last few years. The advancements include medication and laser treatment. Dr. Marx, Dr. Barouch, and Dr. Klein are highly knowledgeable and skilled in the treatment of macular degeneration; and, in fact, have been involved in the experimental research to develop new treatments at the Lahey Clinic.

- CataractsA cataract is a clouding of the natural lens resulting in blurry vision, as well as symptoms of glare, halos, or double vision (“ghosting”). Cataracts are a normal change with age; some doctors liken getting cataracts to “getting grey hair”. No nutritional supplements or eye drops have been found to stop or slow cataracts. Some risk factors for developing cataracts earlier than other patients include a history of diabetes, trauma to the eye, inflammation in the eye, or frequent use of oral or topical steroids such as prednisone.
- Cataract SurgeryCataract surgery has evolved enormously over the past 20 years. The cloudy cataract lens is removed from the eye and replaced with a clear implant. The implants, in particular, have undergone remarkable technological improvements. Implants at Nashua Eye Center in New Hampshire can now be tailored to a patient’s specific vision problems and goals.
- Eye ExamPart of the examination, such as taking your medical history and the initial eye test, may be performed by a clinical assistant.
