Gastroenterology

A variety of upper endoscopic diagnostic procedures are offered in order to identify the causes of abdominal or chest pain, nausea and vomiting, heartburn, bleeding and swallowing disorders.

Lower endoscopy is used to evaluate stomach pain and intestinal bleeding, as well as to detect polyps in the colon that may lead to colon cancer.

Ophthalmology and Optometry

Our ophthalmology staff diagnoses and treats all types of eye disorders, including cataracts, glaucoma and problems associated with chronic conditions such as diabetes. We also provide optometry and contact lens service.

Optometry services are offered at the Oberlin and Avon Lake offices. Here, children and adults can have routine eye care, complete vision testing and refractive services (to determine the amount of vision correction you may need). Complete contact lens services and a large optical dispensary are also available. Should any serious problems be detected during your exam, optometrists can refer you quickly to Cole Eye Institute ophthalmologists. Lorain and Elyria offices also offer vision testing and refractive services.

Cleveland Clinic Elyria now offers a Low Vision Assessment and Rehabilitation program, in addition to the low vision services offered on Cleveland Clinic's Main Campus. Low vision means that even with regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine or surgery, people may find everyday tasks difficult to do. A low vision specialist performs a careful evaluation of the functional problems the patient is experiencing. For a low vision appointment at Cleveland Clinic Elyria please call 440.366.9444.
