Our 3000th! E-mail
ImageMartha Conaway with Dr. Carlin after her Lasik Procedure
We’ve passed another milestone! Dr. Richard Carlin has now completed over 3,000 procedures since we began performing Lasik in our office. Overall, he has performed more than 4,500 procedures after introducing Laser Vision Correction to his patients at an outside facility in Buckhead in 1997.
 
Lasik Satisfaction E-mail
A recent review of over 3,000 peer-reviewed global scientific articles found that 95.4% of Lasik patients were satisfied with their vision and 95% would recommend Lasik to a friend or would elect to undergo the procedure again. More than 95.2% of patients having Lasik in the United States were satisfied with their post-operative results and the total range of satisfaction rates in individual studies was 87.2% to 100%. At CarlinVision, we’re proud that our patients’ satisfaction rates exceeds those of published studies, mostly because of our careful screening of potential candidates, attention to detail, state-of-the-art equipment AND concern and care for our patients—both before and after the procedure.

Premium Intraocular Lenses E-mail

Eliminate cataracts and glasses at the same time! Image
CarlinVision has by far the most knowledgeable and experienced eye surgeons in the area in the use of premium lenses to help patients reduce or eliminate their eyeglass dependence after cataract surgery, Approximately 90% of our premium cataract surgery patients do not need glasses at all, while the rest only need them for some activities. Our secret to success is being certified and experienced in not just one but ALL the available lenses so that each individual can receive the best lens for his/her unique visual needs. Also, we pay careful attention to be sure patients are good candidates because we know that extensive pre-operative education and realistic expectations are essential to premium lens success. For more information about cataract surgery, including options to reduce or eliminate glasses after surgery, call Lauren, our Surgical Counselor, at 770-979-2020 or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

 
An Unsuccessful Ophthalmologist E-mail
ImageAs a medical student Arthur was amazed by his professor Dr. Joseph Bell. A superb diagnostician, he would pick a stranger out of a crowd and deduce his/her occupation, recent activities, medical complaints and even diagnoses. He would then explain how careful observations allowed him to draw such conclusions. After graduation, Arthur went on specialize in Ophthalmology, but alas, had few patients, was a mediocre surgeon and by his own admission — an utter failure! Turning to his other passion, writing, he fashioned his central character after his mentor, Dr. Bell. Thus, Arthur Conan Doyle gave his creation to the world . . . Sherlock Holmes! What a loss it would have been for the literary world if Dr. Doyle had been blessed with a successful Ophthalmology practice!
 
Eyelid Rejuvenation & Insurance E-mail
If the skin of your upper eyelids is drooping over the eyelid margins, it may interfere with your superior visual field and, if so, medical insurance will cover the cost of an eyelid rejuvenating blepharoplasty procedure. Performed in our own in-office surgical suite, it takes only about 20 minutes per lid. You too can look less tired, more refreshed, even younger! So call 770.979.2020 and schedule an evaluation with photos and a visual field test and we’ll be happy to check with your insurance company to see if they will approve your procedure.
