Institute at The Ohio State University from 1991 to 1992.
Since joining the Arena Eye Surgeons in 1992, he has
specialized in Glaucoma and Cataract surgery with a special
interest in Refractive Surgery. Dr. Karl Pappa is an Assistant
Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at The Ohio State
University. He enjoys teaching and has lectured extensively

articles reflecting his special interest in pharmacologic
agents that alter wound healing after eye surgery. This
includes a chapter on Corticosteroid Drugs in an Ocular

Dr. Karl Pappa has performed Corneal Refractive surgery
since 1993, mostly for his cataract and glaucoma patients
with high astigmatism. His busy glaucoma practice has

procedures annually. This strong laser experience has
allowed him to make a very smooth transition into Laser
Vision Correction and expand his Refractive Surgery practice.
Dr. Pappa has performed Laser Vision Correction since
1996 when the Summit Technology Excimer Laser was first
made available at the Grant Laser Center. Since 1997,
he has been using the VISX Excimer Laser to treat nearsightedness,
astigmatism, and farsightedness. He has been performing
the LASIK procedure since 1998. His hard work, intense
training and dedication to this expanded area of his practice
has greatly benefited his refractive surgery patients,
and provided them with excellent surgical outcomes.
He and his wife Michelle have 3 children. He enjoys
attending their athletic and school events. Dr. Pappa
is an avid runner and has competed in various 10-K and
half-marathon races. He also enjoys coaching soccer and
