About Me

Dr. Robert J. Purgert is an ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist who provides comprehensive, patient-focused eye care for adults in the Cleveland area. A native Clevelander, he completed medical school at Washington University in St. Louis, returned home for residency training at the Cleveland Clinic, and pursued advanced subspecialty training in glaucoma at Wills Eye Hospital. He cares for patients with all stages of glaucoma and tailors medical and laser treatment plans to each person’s pressure goals, visual needs, and lifestyle. He also evaluates and treats cataracts and common eye conditions that often accompany aging and systemic disease. In addition to specialty care, Dr. Purgert offers routine eye checkups, helps monitor diabetic eye disease and macular degeneration, and updates glasses or contact lens prescriptions when vision changes. His visits emphasize clear explanations, practical next steps, and close coordination with a patient’s other providers so that care feels seamless and supportive from the first exam through follow-up.
