I saw my ophthalmologist for 3 years and he couldn't diagnose why i have bad red eyes and I know I have bad glaucoma and need eye drops. Heard about Dr. Lin through a friend and wow he diagnosed my problem right away! my eyes definitely felt much better thanks to this amazing doctor!

If you are from Orange County and have glaucoma or cataract, go see him! UCI is a great place and the wait time is nowhere as long as USC or UCLA. I used to wait 3+ hours before seeing my doctor and now much better and Dr. Lin is a very skillful surgeon!

I was having red eye for a while and vision getting worse but my eye doctor kept telling me to put on tear drops but it's not helping. I saw Dr. Lin for the first time and within seconds he diagnosed me with herpes eye infection (NOT the STD kind just to be clear) and now I am all clear after he put me on medication! Can't thank him enough!

My father was told by three surgeons that his cataract is too high risk, before we saw Dr. Lin. He was very patient with us and made my parents and me very comfortable. My father's surgery took only 20 minutes and afterward he went from legally blind to 20/20!! Very humble surgeon too and very gifted in explaining difficult concepts in simple terms.
