Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is damage to your optic nerve usually due to elevated pressure in the eye. Surgeries to address this may include trabeculectomy, aqueous shunt implantation, laser trabeculoplasty or laser peripheral iridotomy.
Ophthalmology
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, when eyes don’t naturally produce enough or the right kind of tears, it’s a condition known as dry eye syndrome. Dry eye syndrome is a common problem for many patients, but our surgeons are trained and equipped to work with you to understand and treat your individual case.
Macular Degeneration
One of the most common causes for loss of central vision in individuals over the age of 45 is macular degeneration. This age-related condition affects the retina. The retina is a layer of nerve cells that line the back wall of your eye sensing light and sending signals to your brain.
Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK eye surgery. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted Stromal In-situ Keratomileusis, which is the most common type of refractive eye surgery. The procedure is a corrective eye surgery that corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping your cornea to improve its focus. While reshaping your cornea sounds complex, the procedure is typically performed in about 20 minutes.
Cataracts
Retina. Any clouding of the lens is a cataract whether there has been a significant reduction vision or not. The most common symptoms of cataracts are blurring and dimming of vision. This can often appear as a persistent glare or filminess, especially when exposed to bright lights
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery – Cataracts are common and affect almost 75% of the American population aged 65 and over. This gradual clouding of the eye’s lens results in a reduction in vision as you age. Cataract surgery procedures remove the cloudy and hardened lens and the surgeon replaces the clouded lens with a new, artificial lens called an intraocular lens. Depending on your case, it is also possible during your
Eye Exam

Our commitment to excellence in medical care is for every patient—from a routine eye exam to diagnosis, treatment, management or surgical intervention for eye disease.

Neurology
Dr. Anzeljc is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. He earned the distinguished OSU Differentiation of Care-3 Rotation Student of the Year award in 2012, was president of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society at OSU, was president of the Student Interest Group in Neurology at OSU and was a member of the Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy – Diabetes causes serious damage to blood vessels and often leads to blood vessels rupturing in the retina. When the retina begins to lose enough blood that it can’t stay healthy, your body will try to grow new blood vessels on the retina to replace the ruptured vessels. This is known as proliferative diabetic retinopathy and is likely to result in impaired vision or vision loss.

Reconstructive Surgery
When there are problems with the eyelids, tear ducts, and the eye socket, or orbit, reconstructive surgery may be necessary to restore proper function and vision. Dr. Anzeljc, our specialized oculoplastic surgeon, is extensively trained in surgical procedures to address anything around, but not within, the eye in these cases.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Abnormal blinking on both sides is referred to as blepharospasm. Botox injections have been proven effective for relaxing the eyelid muscles and relieving the involuntary spasms. There are also potential surgical options to relieve the spasms.
Brow Lift
An eyebrow lift procedure can tighten the appearance of the the brow, the forehead, and the area around the eyes by raising the soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow. Natural-looking raised eyebrows and a smoother forehead restores a more refreshed, youthful appearance. You might also consider a brow lift if you have sagging eyebrows that are contributing to heavy, droopy upper eyelids. The type of lift recommended is based on a patient’s facial anatomy, appearance, and cosmetic goals.
Eyelid Surgery
Many people elect to have eyelid surgery to improve their appearance if they have heavy or droopy upper eyelids. Surgeons remove excess skin, as well as muscle and sometimes fat, to tighten or “lift” the upper eyelids for a more youthful, bright-eyed appearance. Lower eyelid surgery can remove under-eye bags, lift sagging lower eyelids, or remove excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid.
Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery – Common eyelid surgeries can address drooping eyelids or excess eyelid skin. Surgery may include blepharoplasty or ptosis repair surgeries
Cosmetic Surgery
Eyelid surgeries are very common, ranking in the top 5 cosmetic surgery procedures that people in the U.S. elect to receive each year. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can be performed on the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both.
