Dr. Michael Blair has led Animal Eye Care of Richmond since 1999, building the practice into the trusted regional leader in veterinary ophthalmology.
He graduated with honors from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1994, followed by a rotating internship in small animal and equine medicine and surgery at Michigan State. He then completed a three-year residency in Comparative Ophthalmology at Purdue University, where he refined his focus on advanced ocular disease and surgical care.
Before pursuing veterinary medicine, Dr. Blair earned both a BS in Pharmacy and an MS in Pharmacology from St. John’s University and practiced as a clinical pharmacist for 13 years. This unique foundation in pharmacology continues to inform his thoughtful, evidence-based approach to patient care.
Outside the hospital, Dr. Blair enjoys breeding, showing and coursing Scottish Deerhounds with his family. He enjoys running, swimming, and cycling. He has completed 18 Ironman races – three times in Kona, Hawaii.
