Reviews for Columbus, OH Ophthalmologist Gregory D Searcy, MD Refractive Surgery Services

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

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

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

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

I first became acquainted with Dr. Searcy over ten years ago when he removed my cataracts and implanted corrective lenses in both eyes. Now, at 72 years old, I still have 20/20 vision. In addition, by using a laser procedure he has kept my eye pressure under control without the need for eye drops. If that were not enough, he has never failed to greet me with a smile and a handshake. The best compliment I can give is that over the years I have, and will continue to recommend Dr. Searcy to my family, friends. More
