From Sight to Shadows: Cataract Impacts Patient’s Vision
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide and of vision loss in the U.S. If not treated, cataracts may impair or cause complete loss of eyesight.
Why Choose Us?
In 1996, three Central Ohio eye surgeons opened the very first free-standing surgical center dedicated to eyes in the state of Ohio. While surgical centers are now the standard of care for specialties, back then, the Columbus Eye Surgery Center on East Broad Street was revolutionary. The three-member surgical team of Dr. Richard Orlando, Dr. Robin Beran, and the now-retired Dr. Robert Bruce were called “foolish” and “crazy,” but today, they’re looked at as true medical visionaries.
This first-of-its-kind center has provided a way for thousands of patients to have important procedures performed on their eyes without ever having to step foot in a hospital. Patients can undergo any type of eye surgery, including cataract, retina, eyelid, glaucoma, cross-eyed correction, corneal transplants and laser procedures.
Our patients have highly rated the care they received from our doctors and staff, and they say they are likely to recommend our center for outpatient procedures. See what they had to say.

They partner with an Anesthesiologist service provider that does NOT accept CareCredit payments because their system isn't set up to do so! They should consider partnering with some other provider that has 21st century technology.

My hat is off to Dr. Weber, and the staff there. Didn't know what to expect, but they all made me feel reassured, that everything would be done professionally, and it was. I'm very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend The Columbus Eye Surgery Center.

Everything went very smoothly and everyone was very professional. Still waiting for the eye to heal.

Yearly Eye Exams Diagnose Nearsightedness Early in Children
Nearsightedness, or myopia, is affecting more children and young people than ever before due to increased near work and use of digital devices.
Dr Dowell (anesthesiologist) is a bit rude and dismissive. But the center itself is good. Staff are friendly, respectful, and helpful. I get the feeling that they operate the facility like a factory (not in a bad way). They are efficient and quick.
