About Me
Dr. Marwa Thomas is a board-certified ophthalmologist at Cincinnati Eye Institute who specializes in cataract surgery and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). She prioritizes compassionate, personalized care—taking time to understand each patient’s vision goals, explain options in plain language, and guide them through recovery and long-term follow-up. Patients see her for comprehensive eye care as well as co-management of glaucoma and cataracts, including surgical plans that address both conditions when appropriate.
Dr. Thomas grew up in Columbia, Missouri and completed undergraduate studies and medical school at the University of Missouri. She went on to an internal medicine internship and ophthalmology residency at the Mason Eye Institute, where she developed a strong interest in contemporary glaucoma techniques. Outside the clinic, she enjoys traveling, trying new foods, and time with her family and dog, reflecting the approachable style she brings to patient visits.
