Dr. Bryan A. Strelow is an ophthalmologist specializing in diseases and surgery of the retina and vitreous. He cares for adults with vision-threatening retinal conditions and partners closely with referring doctors to deliver timely, compassionate care. Dr. Strelow earned his medical degree from the University of North Carolina, completed ophthalmology residency at the UNC Kittner Eye Center—serving as chief resident—and pursued fellowship training in vitreoretinal surgery at Midwest Retina in Columbus, Ohio. He also holds a BS in Biology from Elon University and a Master of Arts from Duke University Divinity School.

Patients choose Dr. Strelow for clear communication, thoughtful counseling about treatment options, and meticulous surgical technique. He treats age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, macular holes and tears, and offers in-office laser procedures and advanced vitrectomy surgery when needed.

Dr. Bryan Strelow knew the title “Dr. Strelow” from a young age. Growing up with his father, Dr. Scott Strelow, an ophthalmologist with over 30 years of experience, Dr. Bryan Strelow witnessed the transformative power of restoring sight. This exposure fueled his own passion, leading him to leave the Roanoke Valley for North Carolina to pursue his medical education and training. After subspecialty training in Columbus, Ohio, he, and his family, missing the Blue Ridge’s beauty, returned to Roanoke. Dr. Strelow enjoys outdoor sports, exploring new activities with his children, and discovering new places with his wife. Beyond ophthalmology, he is a UNC Tar Heel, technology enthusiast, and soccer lover.
