Why Atlanta Vision Institute?

Experience You Can Trust

Dr. Ashraf has built his reputation as a pioneer in refractive surgery and one of the first ophthalmologists in Georgia to introduce ZEISS SMILE, the next generation in laser vision correction.

His philosophy is simple: no two eyes are the same. Every patient receives a custom evaluation and treatment plan tailored to their vision goals, lifestyle, and comfort. Whether you’re exploring laser vision correction for the first time or seeking a second opinion, Dr. Ashraf takes the time to understand your needs and recommend the most effective, safest solution for you.

“Many centers can perform LASIK and other vision correction procedures - but not everyone takes the time to truly understand you. That’s what makes our results special.”

- Dr. Farooq Ashraf
