What Our Patients Are Saying About our Doctors
“I’ve needed glasses since my college days, and they have made it more difficult to play sports and limited my life in general. I wanted to be free from the restriction of glasses! I chose Heaton Eye Associates because they had great reviews, and as a doctor myself, I trusted Dr. Muirhead – we both graduated from the same medical school!”
“After my husband had such an amazing experience with Dr. Nickel, I decided to take the leap too! From the first visit to the surgery, I’ve met some of the kindest and most professional eye care pros. As a cherry on top of a great experience, Dr. Nickel prayed with me before surgery. I highly recommend Heaton Eye Associates!”
“I wanted to see clearly without contacts and glasses. I love that I will be able to enjoy clear, crisp vision for years to come! I chose Heaton Eye Associates because they have a wonderful reputation, and trusted doctors and staff.”
“I was ready to be out of contacts and glasses, and I chose Heaton Eye Associates because they have a great reputation. Everyone who worked with me made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. I recommend Heaton to anyone I know!”
“My experience with Heaton has been absolutely amazing! The staff and doctor made me feel like part of the family. They kept me comfortable and worry free during my procedure. Dr. Hardin walked me through all the steps while I was having my LASIK so I felt completely safe, and there was no pain at all. I’m so happy with my decision!”

Not only was I impressed with Doctor Carter and her examination and consultation I was equally impressed with her assistants. I am extremely happy that I found Heaton Eye Associates and Doctor Carter in Athens

When I learned I had cataracts and I received information from Dr. Muirhead about my surgical options, I started to get hopeful. I had advanced to wearing increasingly powerful readers. The replacement lens option I chose for the surgery, the light adjustable lenses, held the potential of liberating me from wearing glasses.The process for implanting this type of lens is a bit more involved, but as one who now has 20/20 vision without correction of glasses, I can tell you the extra office visits and treatments as well as the extra cost have totally been worth it to me.Dr. Muirhead and his staff are top-notch professionals. They are personable, too, and throughout the process of tweaking the light adjustable lenses, they were encouraging and patient. Toward the end, I had to decide if I wanted to try one more light adjustment or do the final lock-in. I took an extra week to decide, and I was not hurried. The whole team, including Dr. Lebus, the optometrist, worked together to give me my desired outcome. Everyones eyes are different, but Dr. Muirhead will give every patient his or her best options for treatment.
