Glaucoma: What You Don’t See Could Harm Your Vision
Healthy Aging Month reminds us that keeping our eyes healthy matters at every stage of our lives. During September, focus on eye care for yourself and your family.
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.
Columbus Eye Surgery Center is committed to ensuring that your experience with us is relaxed and worry-free, from consultation through recovery. To assist us, we ask that you read and comply with all guidelines.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this eye institute. I’ve been waiting for over 1 hour and 30 minutes, and my appointment still hasn’t been called. This was a frustrating experience.
The actual in office experience was perfectly fine. Was seen in a timely manner and Dr. Cho was professional. However, I received a message to call in to schedule a follow up, and after several attempts at leaving messages on their answering machine with no response , I’ve decided to go elsewhere.
The procedure was fine but, the scheduling staff were rude. No consideration for a person's ability to meet their schedule. Not everyone has a cadery of people in waiting at there beckoning call to get them there. What type of scheduling is this that will not give you the time of the appointment until the day or so before the surgery date? Today I was told that I had to be there at 12:30 Monday April 21 even though previously I advised them that I needed an appointment after 2:00 because the person providing my transportation could not pick me up before 1:00 . Even though I explained this to them again today, they insisted I had to arrive at 12:30. When I had my previous surgery a few weeks ago, I arrived at 1:20 for my 2:00 appointment, but was not taken back to the surgery area until 3:30 and was the last person in the waiting room. Therefore, I had to cancel my appointment until June and was told that the same thing could happen then about the time of arrival. Now I need to find another Doctor and location for the second procedure.
Very happy with the results of my cataract surgery. I loved how responsive and personal everyone was to any of my concerns. Very nice people to deal with. I would highly recommend Dr. Weber.

I had my cateract surgery in Nov. And on Superbowl Sunday I felt a pin prick in my left eye with sudden floaters. I called the emergancy number and Jenna called me right back and Dr. Mancini said to come into the office. She opened the office for me and found a small retinal tear. I can not tell you the gratitude I feel. Today is Tuesday and I already had my tear lazered. I have never had such great care. Thank you. Sincerely, Carol Melia
