Premier Cataract and LASIK Center in Central Ohio
Bloomberg Eye Center is a full-service physician-owned medical and surgical eye care facility that has been serving Central Ohio for more than 35 years. Founded in 1970 by the late Leroy B. Bloomberg, M.D., the Center operates on the principle that every patient deserves outstanding personalized medical care. Centrally located in Newark, with branches in Logan and Columbus, Ohio, we seek to combine training and experience with the latest advances in technology to deliver excellence in eye care. Our state-of-the-art facility not only attracts patients from Columbus and Central Ohio, but West Virginia, Kentucky, and beyond. From LASIK vision correction to cataracts and advanced vitreoretinal care, we strive to offer only the highest quality eye care.
“The only thing better than my experience at Bloomberg Eye Center is how well I can see since my LASIK eye surgery.” – Rick Savine – Y107.3 FM station owner and morning talk show host
On-Site LASIK Surgery Center
Bloomberg Eye Center was one of the first eye care practices in Ohio to own an on-site certified and modern ambulatory surgery center. Here, our competent and caring staff is able to provide patients in and around Columbus and Central Ohio with LASIK vision correction and other leading surgical procedures. Most hospitals cannot afford to have a staff dedicated specifically to eye surgery. The staff of Bloomberg Eye Center, however, is dedicated specifically to eye surgery, offering an enhanced level of care and convenience for our patients and their accompanying family members. We have five operating rooms on the premises, which means patients can have most procedures performed efficiently at our surgery center in a familiar, comfortable environment. Operating our own facility allows us to avoid many of the bureaucratic obstructions associated with hospitals. As such, we have been able to increase our attention to patient care.
If you live in or around Columbus, Ohio, West Virginia, or Kentucky, contact our LASIK vision correction center today to schedule a free consultation or to learn more about the latest in surgical eye care services.

Refractive Surgery
Over the last several years, we have grown to be one of the premier refractive centers in Ohio. We treat patients not only from Columbus and Central Ohio, but also from West Virginia, Kentucky, and beyond. We offer LASIK vision correction using two different FDA-approved laser platforms (VISX and Nidek). Depending the patient’s individual condition, we are able to determine which laser is ideal, allowing us to achieve optimal results. Our ophthalmologists have also taken part in clinical investigations of laser vision correction devices. Both Dr. Shahinfar and Dr. Bloomberg served as primary investigators for Lasersight, a manufacturer of excimer lasers. We also offer NearVisionSM CK®, and various refractive lens implant procedures as alternative treatments. To date, Bloomberg Eye Center surgeons have performed more than 35,000 LASIK and other laser vision correction procedures, more than any other single practice in central Ohio.
Since Dr. Shahinfar joined the Center in 1997, and later became Medical Director, Bloomberg Eye Center has performed hundreds of complicated vitreoretinal procedures including retinal detachment surgeries, diabetic vitrectomies, macular hole surgeries, submacular surgeries, as well as photodynamic therapy and, more recently, Avastin and Lucentis drug treatment for macular degeneration. We remain one of only few centers in central Ohio fully equipped for such surgical vision correction procedures.
Thousands of individuals have trusted their vision to the professionals at Bloomberg Eye because we have the experience and knowledge to provide every patient with excellent medical care. We are especially proud that more than 90 percent of our patients come to us via word-of-mouth referrals. Patients send their loved ones to us because of the unsurpassed level of care they receive in our friendly and comfortable atmosphere.
