Please contact ( Dr. David T.C.

Your eyes have clear liquid that flows in and out, but if you have glaucoma, this liquid doesn’t drain properly, causing this buildup of IOP pressure. Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve, which is made up of nerve fibers and transmits images from the eye to your brain. If you have a condition known as ocular hypertension, which is a result of high ocular pressure, your risk of developing glaucoma increases.Your optometrist or ophthalmologist may want to lower your IOP as a preventative measure.

Our eye works a lot like a camera. In order for us to see clearly, the Cornea has light has to be focused by a lens. We are all born with a lens inside our eye that does this job for us and in early life it is crystal clear. As we age, this lens can become cloudy and begin to block light or create blur. We call this change in the lens a “cataract”.

Fortunately, cataracts are treatable through surgery. During cataract surgery, the clouded lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure is highly successful in restoring clear vision for most people, allowing them to see more clearly and improve their quality of life.

    I am shocked and flabbergasted at how incredibly rude and disrespectful and unprofessional the doctor and his staff are after the surgery compared to prior to the surgery. Seriously Jekyll and Hyde vibes. It is better if these nurses and doctors and healthcare so called professionals show their true colours from the very beginning.

    Very unimpressed with this doctor who acts like he has found the cure for cancer or something. Unfortunately I did not have good results and I found out afterwards that neither the doctor or his staff ever talk about the not so good results and the long-term effects of the surgery. Basically you are going into the surgery with a lot of important and critical data not being communicated to you and you find out only afterwards when you have all of these problems. Of course you have signed a waiver and have absolutely no recourse whatsoever. It is extremely shady and unprofessional how they are running their business. And clearly they have been getting away with it because he has been doing this for the past 36 years and counting.

    Very, very, very narcissistic. He will tell you all about himself and how great he is. In my opinion people who are great at their jobs do not need to have themselves or their staff communicating over and over and over again about how great they are. I totally regret getting on the David Lin train and going on this hellish ride. My results suck and the surgery was an utter and complete failure.

    I have only negative things to say about this individual and his company. I have had nothing but problems and more problems as a result of what was done. The blame can only be placed on the individual who performed the procedure. Clearly he lied and did not have my best interest at heart. His staff are rude and do not care about patients and look at you as just another paycheque.
