Richard E. Gans,
M.D. Home Page
Welcome to my home page. I am a board-certified
ophthalmologist. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who
specializes in eye care. Ophthalmologists manage all aspects of
eye care from routine eye examinations to performing delicate
laser and microscopic surgery. I am an accomplished surgeon with
over thirteen years of clinical experience in cataract, glaucoma,
cornea and oculoplastic surgery. I provide in-office laser
surgery for glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and other retinal disorders. I
am on the teaching faculty of Case Western Reserve University
School of Medicine. I am on the staff of several local hospitals in
Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. I am a preferred provider for many insurance
plans.

- Cataract Surgery
- A cataract is the lens of the eye that has lost its
clarity. In a cataract operation, this lens is surgically
removed, and replaced with an artificial lens implant in
order to restore vision. The latest techniqes in small-incision
cataract surgery are performed by our surgeons.
- Glaucoma Management and Surgery
- Glaucoma is a potentially blinding disease. When the
pressure within the eye is elevated to such a level that
results in nerve damage, vision is irretrievably lost.
Glaucoma medications, laser and surgery can control the
pressure within the eye and prevent further nerve damage. Our
ophthalmologists are experienced in the detection and
treatment of all forms of glaucoma.
- In-office Laser Surgery
- Lasers are used in ophthalmology to treat glaucoma,
retinal disorders as well as other conditions. Our
offices are fully equipped with lasers that allow us to
treat these diseases without the need for a hospital stay.
- Diabetic Eye Disease
- Diabetes is the #1 cause of blindness in the United
States for adults under 65 years of age. Diabetes can
cause permanent retina damage, resulting in lost vision.
In addition, diabetics are more prone to cataract
formation and glaucoma. Our physicians are experts in diagnosing
and treating diabetic eye disease.
- Corneal Transplantation
- Corneal transplants are performed for conditions in which
the clear front surface of the eye loses its clarity.
- Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
- Surgical eyelid reconstruction is offered for cosmetic as
well as medical conditions.
- Routine Eye Examinations
- Routine eye examinations are available at all three of
our office locations. Our physicians are preferred
providers for many insurance plans. We welcome new
patients of every age.
- Contact Lenses
- We fit and sell contact lenses at all of our offices.
