I love Dr Lin, however my eyes always tear after and are sore. There are too many steps in the process, plus I’m given a bath after. I also get injections in Illinois and it’s a simple process. My eyes are never ache after and the entire process is over. It’s very stressful to basically have my eye scrubbed. Please simplify the process…no “overkill”

Dr Lin explains what he will do before he does it and he makes sure the patient understands.

I’ve been seeing Dr.Lin for 7 years for a condition I’ve had for 17 years & he is absolutely the best retinal specialist I’ve seen including going to Bascom Palmer in Florida rated as the best eye institute in the country.
