About Me

Dr. Marilyn McLaurin Collins is a cornea and external disease specialist dedicated to restoring comfort and clarity of vision for patients with surface and corneal disorders. She provides comprehensive medical management and surgical care, and takes time to discuss options—from drops and office-based procedures to advanced transplant techniques—so each plan reflects the patient’s goals and daily routine.
