As with any relationship you have, in the medical profession it is imperative that the relationship is based on trust.  You need to know that the facility you are visiting is personally interested in your well-being and the people you interact with are trustworthy.  If you have any concerns or followup care you want to know that you have someone who is personally connected to you and willing to work hard to address your concerns.  A medical practice that is willing to go above and beyond the call of duty, not just a place that is running a mill where they won’t even remember who you are.

But to be fair, most good surgeons understandably have only a certain amount of time to spend with their patients when routine procedures are involved. So a good surgeon also recognizes that it’s important to have friendly, competent staff available who also can assist with answering your questions and concerns.  The initial impression you receive at the “front desk” may be an important indicator of how comfortable you will be made to feel as you go through the remaining steps of scheduling and undergoing a procedure.

Are staff members friendly or indifferent? Do they seem competent or disorganized? Are they willing to take the time to answer questions, particularly about costs and billing?  What are the attitudes, are they happy and wearing a smile or grouchy and scowling when you walk in the door?  A good work environment shines through to produce happy employees which in turn creates a pleasant experience for patients from beginning to end.
 
Assessing the presence of that “personal touch” may be an important step to take before you commit to any eye surgeon.  At IQ Laser Vision we understand the importance of that personal touch.  We pride ourselves in providing the best customer service to each and every one of our patients.  We understand that our success is based on the satisfaction of our patients.  When considering facilities for medical services, if the environment is one which is warm and inviting you know you have found the right place!

Boasting long-term results, patients who have undergone laser eye surgery will commonly share that their LASIK procedure was a life-changing experience for them.

Has your surgeon gone through the LASIK procedure too?

When researching various LASIK centers to have your vision corrected, a prime question to ask your doctor is – have you had Lasik too? Not all doctors have had the procedure done themselves and many still wear contacts or glasses.  When selecting a doctor, having one that has already gone through the process has a far better advantage in explaining the procedure and knowing exactly your questions and concerns.

IQ Laser Vision’s Medical Director, Dr. Robert T. Lin, went through the LASIK procedure himself ten years ago.  A decade later he still enjoys 20/20 vision and is eager to pass on the freedom he has from contacts and glasses.  Dr. Lin’s confidence in the LASIK treatment for vision correction is apparent in his trust of performing the procedure on his loved ones.  He has performed the procedure on his parents, relatives, and all of his siblings.

With today’s advancement in WaveFront-guided LASIK procedures, there has never been a better time to have your LASIK procedure completed!

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.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the LASIK procedure. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (626) 854-2020 or at DrLin@IQLaserVision.com.

Dr. Robert T. Lin is the founder and medical director of IQ Laser Vision. The mission of IQ Laser Vision is to provide the best vision correction experience available. Our center is equipped with the most up-to-date technology, designed specifically to provide the best environment for the delicate lasers, and staffed by highly trained professionals. Dr. Lin is one of California’s most experienced eye surgeons having successfully performed over 15,000 refractive procedures over the last 11 years. He believes in the importance of personalized care and takes pride in developing a genuine relationship with each patient. Dr. Lin’s philosophy of practice renders a professional and warm environment where the patients trust him as their surgeon. 

Over seven million people in the United States have undergone LASIK and the vast majority of patients are now free of the dependency on glasses or contact lenses. LASIK utilizes a computer controlled ultraviolet light beam called an excimer laser to change the shape of the cornea and is effective for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism. Patients over 40 years old that have difficulty reading can also be helped by LASIK. This procedure is virtually painless, takes only minutes to perform, and most patients return to work the next day. Dr. Lin has performed refractive surgery on celebrities, fellow physicians, staff members, his two brothers and parents. Moreover, Dr. Lin understands the concerns and excitement that a prospective patient has, because he underwent the LASIK procedure 11 years ago and still enjoys 20/20 vision. 

Devoted full time to refractive surgery, Dr. Lin is a pioneer in ultra-thin flap LASIK (MICRO-LASIK^®, Trademark #2681144, U.S. Patent Office) and LASEK. The advantages of these published, tissue-conserving techniques are less dry eyes, decreased weakening of the cornea, and more available treatment options. Dr. Lin has been featured on nationally televised “Health Watch”, because his Micro-LASIK^® technique enables more patients to safely undergo wavefront-guided customized procedures that can decrease glare and halos at night, and in some cases improve vision to a level better than with glasses or contact lenses. Because Dr. Lin is a leading researcher in refractive surgery, he is also able to offer a wide array of vision enhancing options other than LASIK. He will recommend the option that is best suited for you, but if you are not a good candidate, Dr. Lin will let you know.

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.

Dr. Lin also teaches refractive surgery procedures to ophthalmologists and certifies LASIK surgeons. In addition, Dr. Lin devotes a great deal of his personal and professional time to research, has lectured nationally and internationally, and has published numerous scientific papers in ophthalmology.
