Reputation and Experience
Our organization has gained the reputation of being a premier, specialty eye care practice in the region. As specialists in cornea and external disease, we are often referred complex and unusual cases. Our practice takes a conservative approach to medical treatment and surgery, and offers a wide variety of treatment options to meet the needs of our patients.
Dr. Rajesh Rajpal has been a cornea specialist in the Washington DC area since 1992. In that time, he has become known as a leader in his field. As such, he has been widely published and interviewed by mainstream media such as CNN, NBC, local news stations and The Washington Post. Dr. Rajpal has been recognized by Washingtonian magazine as one of the top ophthalmologists in the Washington D.C. area for LASIK surgery, and was honored with the Achievement Award by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
After her professional training, Dr. Lorie Logan, Optometric Director, completed a residency training program, which only 10% of optometrists complete. She is a highly accomplished optometrist with extensive experience in treating ocular diseases and disorders.
Advanced Technology
Our board certified surgeons are always on the leading edge of our specialty. Each year, we continue to invest in new technology and diagnostic tools to ensure the highest quality of care for patients. For LASIK surgery, we have the VISX Star 4 and Intralase, which allows for all-laser LASIK.
For advanced cataract surgery, our surgeons offer all options currently available in the U.S. today, from standard intraocular lenses to specialty intraocular lenses. Our doctors work with each patient individually to determine which solution will most benefit their lifestyle. Our skilled surgeons aim to provide each patient with the safest and most advanced surgical care.
Research & Clinical Trials
Our Medical Director was involved in clinical trials for laser surgery. He was the first surgeon in the Washington, DC area to perform laser refractive surgery as a principal investigator in the clinical trials for FDA approval.
Our doctors are involved with ongoing clinical trials. By working with major pharmaceutical companies, we are on the cutting edge of current and future treatment options.
Government Contracting
The federal government has demonstrated its confidence in our organization by awarding us long-term contracts to provide services for laser centers and ophthalmology clinics at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland and Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. We supply a variety of health care personnel, including doctors, technicians, and managers to the centers.

Dr. Logan has made several trips to third world countries to provide eye care to underserved areas and the indigent. In the past few years, she has been to El Salvador, Guatemala, and more locally, rural southwest Virginia. She plans to continue these outreach efforts to ensure that all patients are able to receive quality eye care.
