Our department offers patients the latest examination and diagnostic techniques, and medical and surgical treatments. Services range from routine eye examinations and contact lens fitting to the most up-to-date laser and surgical treatments for such major diseases as glaucoma, diabetic eye diseases, retinal detachments and diseases, macular degeneration, and cataracts, as well as the

latest techniques in refractive surgery. Education & Training
The Department’s three-year residency program is one of the most competitive in the country. The fellowship training offers numerous clinical, surgical, research and teaching opportunities in the areas of cornea, external disease and refractive surgery, vitreoretinal disease and surgery, and neuro-ophthalmology/orbital disease and surgery. Research Efforts
Our faculty are involved in a number of multi-center clinical trials funded by the National Eye Institute, and have published major textbooks recognized for advancing ophthalmic medical education. Through their research, our faculty members contribute to medicine's base of knowledge of ocular diseases through efforts aimed at new treatments for the prevention and treatment of blinding disorders.

We had a fantastic time last month as Dr. Martinez guided our DMEK wet lab! 🌟 DMEK is a cutting-edge technique for corneal transplants that replaces only the affected layer of cells, leading to quicker recovery and fewer complications.

We’re grateful for the expertise of our attendings—Dr. Adam Cloud, Dr. Tyler Oostra, and Dr. Christine Martinez—and the enthusiasm of our residents Benjamin Park, Kara Kichler, and Kathi Jindachomthong. Always exciting to learn and grow together! 👁️✨

We had the privilege of hosting class of 1966 alumni Dr. Charles Leone and his family. During their visit, we showcased our Surgery and Clinical Learning Center (SCLC) and highlighted a new recognition plaque. His generous donation, in honor of his late wife, Ellen, to the Ophthalmology department enabled us to establish the SCLC, which will train the future generation of Buckeye ophthalmologists.

Thank you, Dr. Leone!
