Meet The Doctor

Dr. Robert Barnes has been in practice in the local area for 25 years. He is a graduate of The Pennsylvania State University and attended optometry school at Nova-Southeastern University. His practice has been more heavily weighted towards specialty contact lens fits, Dry Eye and Allergy treatment and is also very active in the co-management of refractive surgery patients.

He is one of the few doctors in the Atlanta area that is fitting Scleral Rigid Gas permeable lenses and is having great success with them. They are usually the best option for patients whose next step is corneal transplant surgery due to keratoconus. He also fits Synergyes hybrid lenses. Dr. Barnes is an ongoing member of the Georgia Optometric Association. He has been a member of the Contact Lens section of the AOA for 25 years.
