Erinn Smart 
I highly recommend Park Slope Eye. Dr. Lin is extremely thorough—it was the most comprehensive eye exam I’ve ever had. I’m glad a friend pointed me to Park Slope Eye.
Heather Schwartz
Dr. Lin was extremely knowledgeable and helpful during my contact lens fitting. He had clear responses to all of my questions and I felt very taken care of.
Jennifer Bainbridge
Good experience. Lots of helpful pre-appointment reminders Aaron at the front of office was welcoming. Dr. Lin was super informative and thorough. I also loved their selection of frames.

Eye care
Care built around clear answers
Choose the service that best matches what you need. We explain what to expect and how we can help.
Pediatric Eye Care
Eye care for infants, children, and teens, including InfantSEE, failed screenings, prescription needs, and myopia-related care.
Contact Lens Exams & Fittings
Routine and hard-to-fit contact lens care for astigmatism, near-vision needs, comfort problems, prior failed fittings, specialty lenses, and more.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Checks both vision and eye health, with careful prescription testing, retinal imaging, and additional testing when useful.
Myopia Management & Ortho-K
Options designed to slow worsening nearsightedness in children, helping reduce the lifetime risk of eye problems associated with higher levels of myopia. Treatment options include Stellest glasses, NaturalVue daily contact lenses, Ortho-K, and low-dose atropine.
Dry Eye Care
Helps identify what is causing burning, grittiness, watering, fluctuating vision, or contact lens discomfort and what may help.
Medical Eye Care
Evaluation for eye pain, redness, flashes or floaters, sudden visual symptoms, glaucoma risk, diabetic eye concerns, and other eye-health problems.
Contact lenses
Contact lenses are one of our favorite things to get right.
We keep thousands of contact-lens trial lenses in the office, including broad and full fitting sets, so we can often try even high or complicated prescriptions the same day.
We also stay closely involved with new contact-lens developments, which gives us more thoughtful options when the first lens is not the right one.
