About Liberty Ophthalmology

Neighborly Eye Care in Powell Since 2005

Comprehensive, unhurried eye and vision care in a warm, friendly setting.

Our Story

A Practice Built Around You

Since opening Liberty Ophthalmology in 2005, Dr. Eric W. Lothes and our team have remained committed to providing personalized eye care in a welcoming, family-focused environment. As a small independent practice, we believe patients deserve to be treated like people, not numbers. We take the time to listen, answer questions, and ensure every visit is comfortable, efficient, and centered around your individual needs.

Our goal is to provide complete care in one convenient location. From comprehensive eye exams and updated eyeglass prescriptions to cataract evaluations, treatment, and surgery coordination, we make managing your eye health simple and stress-free. We also offer cosmetic services including BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM®, allowing patients to receive trusted care from a team they already know. We value your time, your experience, and the relationships we build with every patient who walks through our doors.
