OFFICE HAS PERSONNEL THAT IS VERY, VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. MY WAIT WAS NOT LONG AT ALL, GOT RIGHT IN FOR MY TESTING. ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHEN MY LAST SCRIPT WAS FOR GLASSES. WOMAN AT DR DARINGTON'S OFFICE Show moreSAID SHE COULD NOT GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION. I COULD NOT REMEMBER WHEN I HAD THE EYE TEST AND IF MY PROBLEM WAS WITH GLASSES NEEDING ADJUSTMENT OR VISION. I HAD THE TEST WITH COVERING EACH EYE WITH THE PATCH AND YOUNG LADY SAID THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH I COULD SEE WELL. DECIDED NOT TO HAVE EYE TEST. MY GLASSES ARE FOR NEAR AN DISTANT VISION. WENT TO COSTCO TO HAVE GLASSES ADJUSTED AND ASKED THE WOMAN ABOUT LAST SCRIPT. I DECIDED I SHOULD GET NEW GLASSES AS I WAS HAVING THEM ADJUSTED TOO MUCH AND MY VISION WAS AFFECTED. WOMAN GAVE ME THE PRINTOUT AND IT SHOWED 3 YEARS AGO. WE TALKED AND SHE SAID I COULD NOT GET NEW GLASSES AT COSTO AS I HAD MY EYE TEST AT DR DARLINGTON'S OFFICE ON 3/14/22 AND IT EXPIRED 1 YEAR FROM THAT DATE ON 3/14/23 PER DR DARLINGTON'S OFFICE. I ASSUME I WOULD HAVE HAD TO GET AN EYE EXAM BEFORE I COULD GET NEW GLASSES AT COSTCO AND SHE SAID YES. COSTCO WOULD NOT LET ME BUY GLASSES THERE BECAUSE OF EXPIRATION DATE. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. NOW I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO. DON'T THINK MEDICARE WILL PAY FOR ME TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO GET EYE TEST TO BUY NEW GLASSES. SUCH A DISPPOINTMENT FOR ME. IRONICALLY I HAD INTENDED TO GET AN EYE TEST WHILE I WAS THERE BUT DECIDED TO WAIT AND HAVE GLASSES CHECKED FIRST. CUSTOMERS SHOUD BE AWARE OF THIS PROCEDURE AHEAD OF TIME. I WAS TOLD THIS IS IS WITH ANY OUTSIDE EYEGLASS BUSINESS AS IT IS ON THEIR COMPUTERS.
During my initial consultation with Dr. Darlington two years ago, I had been reliant on corrective lenses due to nearsightedness and astigmatism since the age of six. By that time, contact lenses had become increasingly uncomfortaShow moreble for me, and returning to glasses was not an option I was willing to consider. After a thorough examination of my eyes, Dr. Darlington and I evaluated several possibilities, ultimately deciding that cataract surgery combined with multifocal intraocular lenses would best suit my vision needs. The procedure proceeded smoothly, and since then, I have enjoyed clear vision at all distances—close, mid-range, and long. The ability to wake up each day without the hassle of contacts or glasses has been one of the most significant benefits I’ve experienced throughout my life. During my most recent visit, everything was progressing well, although I have noticed a slight haziness. Dr. Darlington had previously informed me that this development was a potential outcome following surgery. He recommended a YAG laser capsulotomy, a quick and painless procedure that allows me to resume work immediately afterward, should I choose to. I appreciate his reassurance that this will be a one-time procedure. I cannot recommend Dr. Darlington highly enough; he is an exceptional doctor and an outstanding surgeon. Each visit is a positive experience, thanks to him and his dedicated staff.

No waiting in and out follow-up appointment.
Very professional. Friendly.
This is my second review request. I have had no change in all that I reported in my first review. I am very disappointed in both eye recovery's. After 7 weeks, my "right eye" is still being treated for high pressure and my sight is still blurred. Unexpected, I had even bigger problems with my "left eye". Fluid has been removed in both eyes. There has been no improvement since I was seen on 5/14/24. The right eye pupil, is still enlarged , the bright light is blinding and I still have the same problem with my left eye as I had on my last visit. As I said, I live alone and before these two surgeries I was very independent, and lived the good life. Now trying to manage my life in this condition is very difficult. I am still not driving, and I have no family here to help me. I have another (1 month), appointment on 6/19. I would like to know the expected outcome. What caused these problems ? When will I be normal again ? Except for the waiting time to be seen and the feeling of being rushed in and out, the staff is very friendly, professional, and kind. Patricia Edwards
I had the best experience with Atlantic Eye and Dr. Darlington. The staff was so professional and attentive to all of my needs for my eye surgery. I would recommend Atlantic Eyre and Dr. Darlington to anyone needing suregery.

Dr. Darlington is an excellent ophthalmologist. I have glaucoma and he is very much on top of the situation to bring it under control.
I have never seen a more precise, well trained or truly more intelligent group! Dr. Darlington is very precise. His team is trained so well that I and my husband felt completely at ease. Thank you Dr. Darlington. I am ready for my left eye to be entrusted to you and your team.

I am very pleased with Dr Darlingtons service. I would diffently recommend him to everyone. The people at the Atlantic Surgery and Laser Center were helpful,kind,and very attentive to my needs during my surgery. Thank you.
Office appointment was 9 am. Did not first get seen by tech until10:30. Saw doc around 11 and was discharged abt 11:30. Over 2 hour appointment mostly sitting in waiting area. Doctor was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable but quick. No sound on cataract video.
Great doctor
My check in experience was good The tech that did my tests before seeing the doctor was nice, considerate and efficient. Check out was easy and she was very friendly.
I didn’t have to wait long to get to a room in order to remove a broken suture from my cornea.
Great Doctor and staff. Just ask him a question and he will answer you.
One out of the 3 Women that assisted me introduced themselves. The other 2 I had to ask. 2 ladies at the front desk were awesome.
