A very common question we often hear is: “How long has Dr. Robert T. Lin performed refractive surgery?”
This is a very good question about the vast experience of Dr. Robert T Lin, and you will find the answer reassuring.
Dr. Robert T Lin has performed refractive surgery for more than 11 years. This is the kind of experience that can only be gained from years of committment to refractive surgery and dedication to perfection as a surgeon. Dr. Lin received his undergraduate education from UC Berkeley and medical training at UCLA. He completed his residency in ophthalmology at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA, one of the world’s most pre-eminent programs, where he is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor. As well as being a board-certified ophthalmologist, the Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance (CRSQA) has distinguished Dr. Robert Lin as one of few CRSQA Certified Refractive Surgeons in the United States. He is also named, “America’s Top Ophthalmologists” by the Consumer’s Research Council of America. He is often consulted by other eye surgeons who need assistance with challenging cases or by patients that need further improvement with their vision.
Although there are good surgeons with less experience, Dr. Robert T Lin has a proven track record of experience that is unmatched by surgeons with less experience. Experience is simple, it requires direct personal participation. This type of experience cannot be “learned” by reading a book or even by listening to a professor. The only way to attain this level of experience is simple and straightforward – by performing surgeries for more than 11 years. As a potential patient, you should demand a surgeon with a high level of experience that you can trust. Beware of “fly by night” discount operations that are here one day and gone the next.
When you have a complimentary consultation at IQ Laser Vision, we will gather data about your eyes including: visual acuity, refraction, measurement of current glasses, biomicroscopy, infrared pupillometry (measurement of nighttime pupil size), pachymetry (measurement of corneal thickness), corneal topography (using two different systems to measure both anterior and posterior surfaces), and if applicable, wavefront analysis.
Based on these findings, Dr. Robert T Lin will select the best treatment for your eyes. He will take as much time as necessary to thoroughly understand your expectations and explain the risks and benefits of the procedure.
