Ophthalmology

Are you concerned about eye health?
If so, then give us a call. After all, shedding light on conditions of the eye is what we do best.

The eye is the organ of sight, a nearly spherical hollow globe filled with fluids (humors). The outer layer or tunic (sclera, or white, and cornea) is fibrous and protective. The middle tunic layer (choroid, ciliary body and the iris) is vascular. The innermost layer (the retina) is nervous or sensory. The fluids in the eye are divided by the lens into the vitreous humor (behind the lens) and the aqueous humor (in front of the lens). The lens itself is flexible and suspended by ligaments which allow it to change shape to focus light on the retina, which is composed of sensory neurons.

Patients are accepted for evaluation and treatment of all ocular and orbital problems. With an emphasis on diagnostic and clinical care, we offer an array of broad-based services for adults and children, from contact lens dispensing to treatment for progressive conditions such as glaucoma and cancers of the eye.

Services are performed by 17 full-time clinical faculty and more than 60 clinical faculty in the area. In addition, the hospital’s health system works in partnership with Union Eye Care to provide cost effective optical services at seven Northeast Ohio locations.

Our ophthalmologists work with patients in offices in Cleveland, Mayfield Heights, Richmond Heights, Westlake, Akron, Mentor/Willoughby, Geneva, Medina, Sandusky and Youngstown.
