Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of related diseases that damage the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss and possible blindness. Many people affected with glaucoma do not experience any symptoms and may not be aware that they have the disease until they have lost a significant amount of vision. Early detection and treatment can prevent vision loss and blindness.

About Athens Eye Consultants

Athens Eye Consultants is a premier ophthalmology and cataract surgery practice in Athens, Georgia, founded by Scotty Gadlin, MD. The practice serves patients 12 and older in a friendly, welcoming setting and uses a solo boutique practice model. Doing so allows for more personlized care and a better patient experience.

Dr. Gadlin spends much more time with his patients than traditional ophthalmologists. He serves as a technician, manager, administrator, billing specialist, and eye doctor at Athens Eye Consultants.

He focuses on patient education and doesn’t treat patients as numbers. Wait times are short, and the practice doesn’t require new patient paperwork. Instead, Dr. Gadlin sits with each patient to review their medical history.

Athens Eye Consultants focuses on medical and surgical management of various eye conditions. The practice offers minimally invasive glaucoma and cataract surgery and treatment for diabetic eye diseases, dry eye, pink eye, red eye, and more.

Athens Eye Consultants provides Klarity Drops® preservative-free artificial tears and combined all-in-one post-cataract surgery drops. The practice uses premium intraocular lenses including state of the art Light Adjustable Lens procedure, in addition to multifocal and extended depth of field lenses (Alcon, PanOptix®, and Vivity) .  AEC also offers wide field retinal imaging options.

Dr. Gadlin prioritizes patient-centered care using evidence-based methods and focuses on exceptional patient experiences.

Easy, efficient, professional, and friendly. I’ve had annual eye exams for 2 years with Dr. Gadlin and am very pleased with the ease and thoroughness of the exams. I’ve had no eye problems so my interactions have been very simple.


Timothy M. | Mar 16, 2023
man with glasses

I was well pleased with my office visit. First of all, I appreciated that I was allowed to read the eye chart without my eyes being dilated. I have never felt that I could see the chart clearly after my eyes were dilated. I also appreciate that my visit didn’t take a couple of hours because he was working on so many patients at the same time. I was also thankful that he was honest with me and didn’t pressure me to have surgery before I needed it. I have already recommended Dr. Gadlin to my best friend.

If you're looking for a place that you aren't stuck in the waiting room filling out a bunch of forms, and then move to a room to have to wait for the doctor to come in, then this is the place for you. I got back in the room quickly and the doctor is who came out to get me and then he did the review of my issues right there on the spot. Talk about personalized service. He is incredibly nice, informative and takes the time to really discuss what your problems are and what the solutions are and how we're going to move forward. I like this guy a lot.

Both the receptionist and the doctor were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had already been to two other doctors for my problem, and this was the first one who made me feel well cared for. Thank you!


Nicholas S. | Oct 21, 2022

Kudos to Dr. Gadlin, My story begins many years in the making ; last two years my cataracts had progressed so much it was like looking through a fogged up window. And I stayed like this out of fear of surgery ( what was I thinking). Well I mustered all my courage and went in for a consultation. Right from the get go, I was greeted by Miss Cybil and she was so fantastic and reassured me I had made the right choice. She was so caring and understanding. She was able to process my paperwork through the VA system flawlessly. Then I spoke to Dr. Gadlin, he was so attentive to my needs and concerns (fears). He performed multiple test to determine the true status of my eye. Yup, I was a perfect candidate for cataract surgery. He explained everything from A to Z . Show me the procedures that were to take place during surgery and most important addressed my fear of surgery. His hands were so precise and delicate during surgery and truly, in a 1 to 9 scale of pain I was a zero. Wow! and over in 20 to 25 minutes. The next day I was speechless, my sight was so perfect and the colors were so vibrant and best of all no fog! If you need a good eye surgeon, hands down the best in Athens. For me, I did my homework before selecting a Doctor and all of my research pointed to Dr. Gadlin; and you know what, it was the best decision I ever made. Every one was so professional, all the way down to the great folks at Anesthesia Consultants of Athens. Thank you , thank you for I can now see normal again.

Dr. Gadlin provides professional and excellent care to his patients! He has been my ophthalmologist for 3 years. I can see clearly after he performed cataract surgery on me over a year ago, and he has managed my glaucoma well. He never leaves an issue or any concern unresolved. He always answers questions in a manner which is never hurried. His demeanor is one of great care for all his patients! I recommend his practice to everyone. BTW: My wife loves receiving eye care from Dr. Gadlin as well. David Hancock

I’ve been seeing Dr Gadlin for several years. He replaced my lens because of cataracts, a few years ago, and I’ve had no problems. He is friendly and professional. I can’t imagine I’d see any other doctor.


Laura H. | Jul 14, 2022
man with glasses

I was seen by Dr. Gadlin in an emergency situation. I am so glad I did. My eye was severely infected and it would have gotten way worse if left untreated. The receptionist was pleasantly nice. I did not have to wait but about 10 minutes. Dr. Gadlin was very thorough and did not make me feel uncomfortable at all. I will definitely be back!


Kelly B. | Jul 14, 2022
man with glasses

Very pleased! Saw me right away, very thorough exam and talked to me about the problems in a way that I could understand.


James J. | Jul 13, 2022
man with glasses

The office got me in as a new patient the next day, thanks to a cancellation! The doctor was prompt, thorough, efficient, and knowledgeable. The other practices I contacted in the area did not address my concerns at all by phone, and were rude and unhelpful. The front office lady here, to the contrary, was polite, professional, and courteous both over the phone and in-person. Since moving to Athens I have been astounded by the lack of common phone courtesy and general sensibility of front office staff in medical settings. This practice would be the exception! I hope my follow up appointment goes as well as this first encounter. I highly recommend this practice!


Laura C. | Jul 12, 2022
