Arthritis
Tailor Made Tears are autologous serum eye drops (ASED) and sometimes called blood derived serum tears because they are formulated with specially treated components of a patientâ€™s own blood. This prescription eye drop uses a patientâ€™s own blood serum, which is diluted with a solution to produce a tear substitute that is unique to each patient. Tailor Made Tears are proven to be an effective treatment option for many patients with dry eye syndrome, as well as patients with dry eye issues due to autoimmune disorders such as SjÃ¶grenâ€™s syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis.

Primary Care
I was also recently treated for an eye emergency at CEIâ€™s Urgent Eye Clinic. I didnâ€™t know they offered emergency services, but when I had an issue with my vision on New Yearâ€™s Eve, my primary care doctor sent me straight to CEI. I was treated that very same day, which was awesome.
High Cholesterol

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of related diseases that damage the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss and possible blindness. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness and visual impairment in the United States and can affect patients of all ages.
Ophthalmology
In association with The Ohio State University College of Optometry, the Cincinnati Eye Institute is pleased to offer one of the nationâ€™s leading optometric residency programs in ocular disease. The 13-month program will fully immerse residents in CEIâ€™s patient-focused tertiary care ophthalmology practice.
Macular Degeneration
I had my first appointment with the doctors at Cincinnati Eye Institute to complete a regular exam for macular degeneration. Wow! I have never been treated so well and professionally. It is incredible that such a large operation is run so well. CEI has the best care delivered in the most professional way. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Daniel Miller and CEI to my friends and family.
Laser Eye Surgery
Ptosis is the drooping of the upper eyelid. While Ptosis is usually the result of aging, some people develop Ptosis after eye surgery or an injury, and sometimes the condition is congenital. Because Ptosis may be present due to serious causes, patients with this disorder should be checked by a medical professional to determine whether treatment is necessary, and if so, what kind.
Cataracts
The Cornea, Cataract, Refractive, and Anterior Segment Surgery fellowship at the University of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Eye Institute provides a well-rounded training experience in all aspects on the evaluation and treatment of the medical and surgical problems of cornea and external disease, cataract, ocular surface disease and refractive patients.
Cataract Surgery
The cataract surgeons at Cincinnati Eye Institute are very highly experienced and can help patients eliminate the blurry or distorted vision that is caused by cataracts. In many cases, patients who undergo cataract surgery with a CEI surgeon are able to achieve even better vision than they had before their cataracts developed.
Eye Exam
Regular eye examinations are important in maintaining eye health. During a comprehensive eye examination, eye diseases or other abnormalities that are not yet causing symptoms can be detected.

An experienced ophthalmologist can provide treatment in the form of medications or surgery for patients affected by Thyroid Eye Disease.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Â® Cosmetic is the most popular cosmetic procedure performed in the US, as it quickly and effectively reduces or eliminates the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles for up to six months, with no downtime and little to no discomfort. Through a series of tiny injections, Botox gives you a rejuvenated look by smoothing lines near the eyes, eyebrows, forehead, mouth and neck. Dysport was also designed to relax and gradually smooth out the appearance of the frown lines between the brows.
Brow Lift
Also referred to as pretrichial brow lift, this approach is ideal for patients who have higher hairlines. Incisions are made just above the hairline, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin and raise the forehead and browline to a more youthful appearance.

The extensive training and highly specialized skill of our oculoplastic surgeons allows them to perform complex eyelid and facial plastic surgery, as well as injectable treatments, with exceptional attention to detail and function while also delivering beautiful and natural-looking results.
Face Lift
As we age, our skin loses its natural elasticity and tone. The cheek and eyelid areas tend to sag, creating a tired look. The Mid Face Lift restores a smooth, refreshed natural look to the lower eyelids and cheeks so you can look as young as you feel.
Blepharoplasty
The CO2 laser is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles of the periocular and facial skin. It improves the texture of the skin by stimulating collagen production and gives the skin a more youthful and rejuvenated look. The treatment is performed under IV sedation in an operating room to minimize any discomfort. The laser treatment is often performed in conjunction with upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. While this procedure may be most commonly performed to treat the effects of aging, it can be performed on patients of any age who are looking to restore their skin to a smooth, clear complexion free of blemishes and other imperfections.
Laser Resurfacing
Â®, dermal fillers, and laser resurfacing. Oculoplastic surgeons who are members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) must prove a high standard of skill and pass stringent exams in order to qualify for this specialty.
Cosmetic Surgery

At Cincinnati Eye Institute, our patients can feel confident that they are entrusting both their vision and their appearance to world-class Oculoplastic and Reconstructive surgeons who have the skill, expertise, and technique necessary to ensure the very best results.

Forehead Lift
A forehead lift is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. There are a number of different approaches to the eyebrow lift procedure, allowing surgeons to fully customize treatment to complement each patientâ€™s unique physiology and help them meet their aesthetic goals.

Skin Cancer
Ulcer
A corneal ulcer is a painful wound on the cornea that may be the result of scratches, injury, or poor contact lens care. In addition to pain, a corneal ulcer may cause decreased vision, eye redness, light sensitivity, swelling of the eyelids, or the sensation that there is something in the eye. This condition can progress to threaten vision and should be treated promptly by an ophthalmologist.
Fungus
Corneal infections are often the result of injuries to the cornea such as scratches that allow bacteria or fungus to enter the cornea. Contact lens wearers are at higher risk of corneal infections. In most cases, corneal infections can be treated with antibacterial or antifungal eye drops or oral medications. This is normally a treatable condition, but severe corneal infections can threaten the eyesight and eye health and may require surgical treatment or a corneal transplant.
Lesions
Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a condition that causes painful lesions and blisters to grow on the skin and mucosal surfaces, including the eyes. This rare condition is often a result of an allergic reaction to a prescription or over-the-counter medication and the formation of lesions is usually preceded by flu-like symptoms. Eye involvement with SJS may range from mild dry eye to severe scarring and decreased vision. Even years after the dermatologic issues caused by SJS are alleviated, patients may still require treatment by an ophthalmologist.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels remove the damaged outer layer of skin on the face to smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes to produce healthy, glowing skin. There are three types of chemical peels, ranging from mild to strong- alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol- and formula strengths are tailored to each patient.
Skin Care
Now, through in-depth analysis of your individual facial characteristics, it is possible to benefit from rejuvenation and skin care programs customized for your complexion. Your skin care consultation with the VISIA Complexion Analysis System, uses specialized photography and computer software to analyze and visually illustrate five features of your facial skin: wrinkles, spots, pores, evenness of color, and UV sun damage.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion- Diamondtome â€“ is a technique for removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it supple and vibrant. The Diamondtome wand removes this layer of skin by gently exfoliating the skin with natural diamond chips, while at the same time vacuuming the dead skin cells away in a sterile and controlled manner. Removing this outer layer of dead skin cells leaves a smoother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells.
