LISBON Dr. Ryan W. Eisel has joined the practice at the Scullion Vision Clinic in Lisbon.
He is the son of Bill and Terri Eisel, former Salem residents who now live in North Canton.
A 2012 graduate of Salem High School, Dr. Eisel received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from The Ohio State University in 2016 and his doctorate from the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago in May 2020.
Shortly after, he was hired by Drs. Lynn and Tom Scullion at Scullion Vision Clinic as a full-time optometrist. Since starting at the clinic, Eisel has extended the hours to Saturday morning. “I am comfortable seeing patients of all ages and eye care needs,” Dr. Eisel said in a press release. “I am also now certified in fitting specially designed contact lenses that studies have shown can slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. As a Salem native, I am thrilled to have this opportunity to serve Lisbon and the surrounding area.”
