Dr. Hudak, originally from Northeastern Ohio, relocated to the Cincinnati area to accomplish his advanced medical training. He came to love the area, and now considers it home. Dr. Hudak is an ophthalmic plastic surgeon (also referred to an oculoplastic surgeon), a very specialized ophthalmologist. This means in addition to first being a board-certified ophthalmologist, he has also completed years of highly specialized training in plastic and reconstructive surgery as it relates to the eye. He focuses on diseases, injuries and conditions of the structures around the eye – including eyelids, eyebrows, the tear system, and tissues behind the eye (in the area called the orbit). He joined Eye Care Associates in 2010. Dr. Hudak sees patients in several Eye Care Associates locations including Mason-West Chester, Kenwood, Western Hills, Fairfield and Middletown.
