Reviews for Columbus, OH Ophthalmologist Gregory D Searcy, MD

Great practice. They really care about your vision. Dr. Searcy is so personable. I never feel rushed . Have been going there for many years and would not go anywhere else. Even had cataract surgery . Easiest surgery ever. Great vision afterward too. More

I have been a patient of Dr. Searcy since 1998 referred by my Primary Care Physician. Dr. Searcy has also performed cataract removal on both my eyes restoring my vision. Amazing! That was nearly two years ago. I only need glasses to read now. The eye care I have received is outstanding and excellent. I give the Erdy/Searcy Eye Group my highest recommendation. More

Dr Searcy is very warm and he listens to your concerns and addresses it. He is a good doctor and my mom in law saw him till she became hospice patient and now myself and my 2 boys are seeing him as our family opthamologist. I would recommend him to my friends and family. More

I have been a diabetic for about 30 years and had developed cataracts. The Crystalens has shown me the true meaning of seeing more clearly and sharpness in my new vision. Dr. Searcy has always been very attentive with my eye care and follow up visits. The professionalism and knowledge shown by the entire staff is truly exceptional and I wish to thank everyone for their personal attention to my needs. I would highly recommend the Erdey Searcy Eye Group to anyone seeking vision care. More

I have worn contact lenses or backup glasses for twenty nine years. My vision was poor enough that sleeping was the only activity I could do without my contact lenses in. After a friend of mine had laser correction surgery done, I wondered if I would be a candidate for the procedure. I planned a two week overseas vacation for October of 2011. How wonderful it would be to go on vacation and not have the burden of contact lenses! The Erdey Searcy Eye Group is well respected by the primary care physicians I work for, so I made an appointment for a consultation. After an extensive evaluation, Dr. Erdey recommended implantable contact lenses as the best option for me. He and his staff carefully explained all the benefits and risks associated with the procedure. I liked the idea that the lenses would provide me with the highest quality vision and were completely reversible. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Erdey’s expertise with the procedure. The staff was competent and professional from start to finish. I had my eyes done a week apart. The surgery was performed each time in under thirty minutes. My eyes felt slightly “gritty” for a few hours after the surgery, but there was no pain involved. By the second day, they felt completely normal. My vision is now perfect! Everything seems clearer and brighter, almost as though I see in high definition. When I wake up in the morning, I am able to see the time on my alarm clock! My only regret is that I did not do this year’s ago. I would recommend this procedure and Dr. Erdey without hesitation. More

The Doctors, medical personnel, and staff at Erdey Searcy Eye Group has taken great care of me and my eye concerns. I have always recieved the upmost care and professional services at my appointments. Their staff are courteous and knowledgeable, I have always been satisfied with the medical care received during my visits, my wait time and my visit was acceptable, and I would definitely recommend Erdey Searcy Eye Group to my close friends and relatives.

3 Years ago I met Dr. Erdey when I was having difficulty seeing driving at night. Dr. Erdey explained to me how previous Radial Keratotomy scarring was causing my blurred and starburst night vision. He recommended a DALK procedure which is a partial corneal transplant. Needless to say I was hesitant. However, Dr. Erdey took the time to explain to me in detail the procedure and the expected time it would take. I decided to trust The Erdey Searcy Eye Group, and I am happy to say I am glad I did. The first procedure had me second guessing my decision as my vision was cloudy following the replacement. Dr. Erdey assured me it was normal and to give it time. As the healing process progressed my vision still was not improving. This was directly related to the shape of my eye which again Dr.Erdey explained was normal and would be corrected through contacts, glasses or possibly cataract surgery....which can be accelerated because of the DALK procedure. Once the sutures were removed, and the cornea continued healing, it was clearly evident the scarring Dr. Erdey referred to from the previous RK was corrected. It was now time to wait for the cornea to fully heal and allow for a cataract surgery to address sight degradation. As I waited we entered a prescription for glasses to help with my sight. It was not optimal, however I chose to pursue and wow, what a difference....I could see again....clearly. This gave me the resolve to have the second eye transplant....but we needed to correct the cataract first. Once this was complete I was amazed to realize I had been seeing the world in distorted colors in addition to the scarring.....I found a shirt I thought was green was actually blue and wondered how people must have thought I had no ability to match what I was wearing......that small downside was worth the upside of being able to see in a whole new way. I was excited for the next surgery, but had to wait........Once fully healed Dr.Erdey performed the second DALK on my right eye. One note.....the amazing steadiness of Dr. Erdey's hands are amazing. The sutures he put into my eye were exquisite, but they can be painful. Things were going smoothly until I got a virus. I experienced partial rejection while on a business trip. The swelling in my eye caused a tear out of the sutures, and the pain was pretty tough. Dr. Erdey took my call ( at night) and saw me the next morning when I returned. He immediately put me on the proper drops and "beat back" the rejection. This is one of the benefits of DALK.....far less rejection of the doner tissue. This set us back a few months, however we got back on track. Finally the sutures were removed, and I was looking at my next cataract surgery. Fortunately as time has passed Light Adjustable Lenses became available and I decided to have that technology placed into my right eye. This surgery was performed two days ago and so far so good. We have several light treatments to go, however I am excited for the prospects of the final vision as my vision now is quite good without dialing in the UV adjustments.....will update again as we progress. I'll end this by saying Dr. Erdey and his staff are expert caregivers. They know how to diagnose and explain the proper treatment....and they can address setbacks in the most professional manner. I've gotten to know Dr.Erdey over these years and truly am glad to have gotten to know him both professionally and personally.....could not give a higher recommendation and want to thank him for giving me the best sight of my life....and it is only going to get better with the adjustments. Truly remarkable as I've worn glasses for more than 50 years and now can say I know what good eye sight really means. Don't think twice about trusting your eyesight with the Erdey Searcy Eye Group Team! Truly appreciate your skill Dr. Erdey! Rich E More

Dr. Searcy is awesome. I had seen him years ago, and after moving back to the area, saw him again. I wish I could say the same about the optometrist I saw. She was opinionated and negated what I had to say. She felt I should have stayed with my prior optometrist. Not a good way to build up your practice. Dr. Searcy was happy to see me and continue my care. Because of him I will continue my care through him. More

I have been seeing Dr. Searcy since 2010. I have always been treated in a professional and courteous manner. Dr. Searcy has been proactive with my medical condition. The staff has always been friendly and efficient. I recommend this office to anyone with eye issues. More

Excellent - In March of this year (2023) I had to have surgery on both eyes to remove cataracts, replace both lenses, as well as have AK procedure on one. There was no question of whom I would see, I had proven results with Dr. Erdy before, and he is the one I trusted with my eyes once more. After recovering from all surgeries, I can now see 20/20, something I haven’t been able to do since first grade! I have read the reviews of Dr. Erdy and feel that people have neglected to comment on Dr. Erdy’s desire to provide his patients with the BEST results possible. Dr. Erdy is a perfectionist and wants the BEST for his patients. Remember, you’re there to have the BEST in the business correct your eyes, not for their bedside manners or to make friends.I want to also give a shout-out to the best front-staff and nursing staff I have ever met! A special thanks to Cathy, Carol, Liza, Kristen, Jessi, and a few more that made my experience a pleasant one. Thanks again to the Erdy Searcy Eye Group!Vickie More

Exceptional experience! - My experience with the Erdey Searcy Eye Group for cataract surgery was exceptional. Everyone, from the receptionists to the technicians, to the nurses and Richard Erdey, my surgeon, were helpful, efficient, patient with my questions and professional.I had worn glasses for over 55 years with my eyesight worsening. I was told to expect 20/20 vision (for distance), but most amazing is how bright and clear my vision became.The surgery took approximately 20 minutes and was only uncomfortable, not painful. The recovery period was a matter of days and I tested 20/20 vision within a week.I highly recommend Dr. Erdey for anyone with vision issues, particularly cataract surgery. More

Dr. Searcy is not only the most professional but he answers all your questions and concerns. His entire staff is the best I have had the pleasure of being involved with. I had to have some surgery done and was extremely nervous about it. They assured me everything would be fine and it all went great. I highly recommend Dr. Searcy and his wonderful staff. Thankyou, Craig Otto More

Dr Searcy is the best Dr you will ever find - Both Dr Searcy and his entire staff are the best you will ever experience. You wait and want for nothing. You will see better than you ever thought possible when he is done. Very compassionate and nice man. Thankyou, Craig Otto More

I was a little frightened to have cataract surgery but everything went just as I was told it would. Staff was professional and service was prompt. I could not have asked for more. More

Dr. Searcy performed several eye surgeries for me, both scalpel and laser. and each one went very well. His staff was kind and communicative. Dr. Searcy is a wonderful surgeon, who really knows what he's doing, and my vision is so much better now. I no longer needs glasses. In addition, Dr. Searcy is the kindest man, who really puts his patients at ease. I can recommend him highly. More

I went to Dr. Searcy for cataract surgery. It was the best decision. The outcome has been amazing. Dr. Searcy did an outstanding job. He is a great person, caring, and gives you his compete attention. I highly recommend Dr. Searcy. More

Dr. Erdey is the best eye surgeon that I know! He is competent, professional, and caring. I met with Dr. Erdey and during my eye examination it was determined that I needed corneal surgery and later a cataract removed. I was very nervous about having these surgeries done, but at the end of my consultation with Dr. Erdey I knew I had made the right decision to allow him to proceed with the surgeries. In addition, his entire staff was welcoming and supportive. He performed both surgeries and I regained my vision significantly. My vision is important and I needed a competent and reliable surgeon, and that was Dr. Erdey. I highly recommend Erdey Searcy Eye group to anyone seeking exceptional eye care.

Yes, I would refer friends & family to Dr Searcy. More

Yes, I would highly recommend Dr. Searcy. He did both of my catarac surgeries (complete with lens implants) and I see with 20/20 vision now - no glasses! So grateful and pleased that my checkups are handled with thorough testing to make sure we catch anything else that might creep up. More

Very efficient exam and process. All staff courteous. More

I highly recommend Dr Searcy. He performed my cataract surgery & successfully restored my vision to 20/20. Two years ago during my annual exam he detected an issue that was later diagnosed as macular degeneration in my left eye. Because of his attention to details the macular degeneration was caught in the early stages & with treatment I have not experienced any loss of vision. Dr Searcy would be my choice every time. More

I was referred to Dr Searcy for a 2nd opinion by a friend who had recently had cataract surgery performed by him. I was already scheduled for surgery with another doctor who had explained that after surgery I would need to see my local optometrist for reading glasses. I remember thinking, “Is that the best he can do?” Dr Searcy throughly explained what he would do & was excited about the lenses he would be using. I quickly cancelled the surgery with the other doctor & rescheduled with Dr Searcy. He performed my cataract surgery & restored my vision to 20/20 without the need for any glasses. Two years ago during my annual eye exam he detected an issue of concern in my left eye & referred me to a retina specialist. That issue of concern was later diagnosed as macular degeneration. Due to his attention to details the macular degeneration was in the early stages & with treatment I have not experienced any loss of vision. In fact I still maintain a near 20/20 vision. Dr Searcy would be my choice every time. More

My appointment today was business as usual. This was the 5th time I have visited the eye center and again everything from check-in to completion was done timely and professionally. My 8:40 am appointment took place on time, 2-3 tests were completed, my follow-up appointment was scheduled and I left the building at 9:25 am. I continue to be impressed. More

Dr. Searcy is a miracle worker. I wore glasses from 4th grade on and bifocals for to many years and going on 75. My appointment today showed 20/20 vision both eyes. My cataracts were so bad could barely see colors. Everyone that works there smiles and lets you know they're glad to see you. Can't think of enough words to describe how they treat their patients. They're very thorough and let you know every step before they do it. Can't imagine ever going anywhere else for my eyes More

Had a great exam and enjoyed the assistant and the Doctor More

My annual eye exam was due during Covid-19 in 2020. The process was seamless -you wore a mask, were asked 2 questions - had you been sick or around anyone who was sick over the past 2 wks. Your temperature was taken. Social distancing. The best part was - I had schedule this appointment over 1 year ago and forgot about it. Dr. Searcy personally called and asked if I was coming. The best part about this process is.. I'm still seeing 20/20 after my basic eye surgery 19 years ago. Very grateful that I found this practice and Dr. Searcy. More

We take so much for granted u til we face life altering changes. Although aware my eyesight was failing due to cataracts and an inherited disease of the cornea, the thought of the lose of one’s vision makes you focus on those things that are truly important. Every day I thank God that while on my life journey, I crossed the path of Dr. Richard Erdey of the Erdey, Searcy Eye Clinic in Columbus, OH. The procedures were performed to his meticulous satisfaction with results that far exceeded my expectations. Words can not adequately describe my gratitude and thanks to him and his excellent staff! Heartfelt thanks must also be extended to the Central Ohio Eye Bank, who partner with his Clinic, and particularly to the donor’s family! As the Erdey, Searcy Clinic motto states, I CAN see clearly NOW! Sincerely Grateful, More

In September 2018, I was referred to Dr. Richard Erdey at the Erdey Searcy Eye Group for Corneal transplants. Not going to lie, it was pretty scary news. I had my first DMEK transplant in October on my left eye. I was amazed how quickly I could see by the 3rd day. The procedure went so well that we moved to the right eye for the 2nd transplant in November. I am 6 weeks out from the 2nd transplant and can see 20/20! Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Dr. Erdey. More

At age 8, I could not see the large E on the eye chart at the optometrists. The next forty two years saw increased power in my lenses (up to -10.75), ultimately resulting in bifocals as well as reading glasses. Contact lenses were not an option because of dry eyes and allergies. At age 50, I reached a point where changing glasses all through the day and poor vision were a way of life. (at right, see picture of me before ICL!) I recently moved close to where the Erdey Searcy Eye Group is located, and made an appointment for what I thought was just a yearly exam with Dr. Erdey. It was then that I learned of the implantable contact lens. I had the surgery within the next 6 weeks. Within 48 hours of having the ICL surgery, my uncorrected vision was 20/20! This was the least intrusive of all the outpatient procedures I have ever had done. In addition, I have clarity of vision that I don’t recall having for many, many years. For days I have marveled at all that I can see. The ICL surgery has returned a quality of life to me that I never thought I would have again! More
