What Is a Retina Specialist?
A retina specialist is an ophthalmologist with advanced training in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the delicate structures inside the eye.
The Retina
The delicate sensory layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye.
The Macula
The central area of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision.
The Choroid
The vascular layer located between the retina and outer white sclera.
The Vitreous
The clear, gel-like substance inside the eye between the retina and lens.
Advanced Training & Experience
Our physicians complete medical school, a three-year ophthalmology residency, and additional fellowship training focused specifically on retina and vitreous disease, surgery, and research.
Each of our specialists brings years of experience in both surgical and clinical retinal care, using the latest equipment, advanced treatment options, and state-of-the-art facilities to provide the highest level of patient care.
Our physicians have also published hundreds of scientific manuscripts and presented research, instructional courses, and educational lectures for leading organizations such as the American Academy of Ophthalmology, American Society of Retina Specialists, Retina Society, and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.
