Additional Information

Dr. Craig graduated from The Ohio State University and did his residency training at The Ohio State University Department of Ophthalmology. His hobbies are fishing, art, music and woodworking.

In addition to his practice at The Ohio State University, Dr. Craig has been in charge of the resident's training program in Eye Pathology. He has accumulated a large archive of glass microscopic slides and kodachromes dating back to 1949 which represent the myriad diseases of the eye and adnexal tissues. From this collection of cases, papers and conference presentations are formulated and Grand Rounds sessions are enhanced. Weekly, more intimate teaching discussions with individual residents are held covering the current surgical cases. This aspect of ophthalmology is vital to resident training and rewarding to all involved.
