He specializes in small-incision and laser-assisted cataract surgery, micro-invasive glaucoma surgery, and laser treatments. He also performs general and pediatric eye exams.   

Since 2009, Dr. Loizos has been serving patients at The Eye Centers – a multi-specialty eye care group. The Eye Centers encompasses the Fairview Eye Center, the Eye Center of Lakewood, the Eye Center of Lorain, the Eye Center of North Olmsted, and the Eye Center of Middleburg Heights. Dr. Loizos is affiliated with the Fairview Eye Center.

In addition to comprehensive, routine eye care, the doctors at The Eye Centers specialize in laser vision correction, “no-stitch” cataract surgery, retinal surgery, laser and surgical procedures for the treatment of glaucoma, as well as cosmetic and functional surgery to correct eyelid disorders. Their mission is to provide the highest quality of medical and surgical eye care available, combining state of the art technology with personalized care and compassion.

A native Clevelander, Dr. Loizos was born and raised in Old Brooklyn and graduated from St. Ignatius High School. He then went on to attend college at Cornell University, where he studied Classical Civilizations and Literature.

He then returned to Ohio State University for his residency in ophthalmology, where he conducted research on diabetes and early detection of diabetic retinopathy.   

Dr. Loizos is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO). The ABO is an independent, nonprofit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists (eye physicians and surgeons) in the United States. Founded in 1916, the ABO was the first American Board established to certify medical specialists and is one of 24 specialty Boards recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA).

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract and corneal surgery.

As a current resident of Rocky River, Dr. Loizos continues to be involved in the community along with his wife and four children. They are active members of the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church.
