Physician, Assistant Professor
Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology - Glaucoma
Department: Ophthalmology
As an ophthalmologist, I want to make sure my patients fully understand their conditions so they can take an active role in their health care. After the initial visit, we start a comprehensive treatment plan that might involve medical and traditional surgical therapy in addition to newer laser technologies and minimally invasive surgical techniques, depending on the patient's unique situation. I specialize in treating glaucoma (open angle, angle closure, secondary), cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and dry eye.
At Ohio State, I enjoy the opportunity to be on the cutting edge of therapies, a broad and diverse patient population, and the chance to train future ophthalmologists.
In my spare time, I enjoy watching films with my wife, spending time outdoors and cheering at sporting events with my children.

This was my first time meeting Dr Josh Evans. My eye doctor Recommended him and referred me to him. His energy was great and very calming. Considering it's nerve-racking to even go into a doctors office. He answered all of my questions and looked in my eyes and we talked and I never felt rushed.

Dr. Evans is my Glaucoma Specialist. He has a vast knowledge of Glaucoma and is concerned about his patients. I'm currently recovering from Glaucoma surgery. Dr. Evans cares about his patients to the point, in my case, of Instructing me to call him directly with any recovery issues.
Due to the late time I did get the questions answered about what is next the feeling I was getting from the other eye seemingly drupy eye lid
Always very professional and answered my questions. I had to wait for a long time to see him but he apologized.
Dr Evans took the time to listen and answer any concerns that I had. I asked my previous Dr (11 years) the same questions and he answered by shrugging his shoulder and deflecting. Dr Evans advised me to stop taking a drop that I had taken for 6 years. He prescribed drops for my left eye that could help me maintain sight in my remaining eye.
