I’ve been seeing Dr. Lain for dry eye treatment and I can’t say enough about how grateful I am f... or his care. He takes time to explain every option and uses the most effective, up to date treatments to actually improve the condition, not just manage it. My eyes feel better than they have in years. We’re incredibly lucky to have a doctor like him here in Knoxville.

Recently moved to Farragut, TN and needed to find a dry eye specialist. Dr. Lain, at The Eye Group, ... was knowledgeable and very helpful. He definitely will be my optometrist and dry eye specialist.
