The ‘eyes’ have it

Eye surgeon Dr. Binoy R. Jani will begin performing procedures at the Culpeper Surgery Center in October.

Jani, a 37-year-old ophthalmologist and medical director for Vista Eye Specialists in Locust Grove, plans to open a 2,100-square-foot office on Lovers Lane in Culpeper in the next few months.

He will provide advanced custom cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, refractive lens exchange, glaucoma laser surgery and eye-lid surgery, among other procedures.

“I think I will give patients another option and offer my fellowship expertise and teaching experiences,” said Jani, an assistant clinical professor in the department of ophthalmology at the Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.

Jani, who began providing eye care in 2001, worked in the Fredericksburg area before opening his Locust Grove office. He has privileges to perform surgeries at Culpeper Regional Hospital, Culpeper Surgery Center, Mary Washington Hospital and the Surgi-Center of Central Virginia.

During his spare time, Jani enjoys playing tennis, golf and swimming.
