Understanding the Parts of the Eye We Treat
A retina specialist is an ophthalmologist with advanced training in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the delicate structures inside the eye.
The Retina
The light-sensitive tissue lining the inside of the eye that helps send visual information to the brain.
The Macula
The central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision used for reading and recognizing faces.
The Choroid
The vascular layer between the retina and sclera that supplies blood and nutrients to the eye.
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.

Modern Tools for Specialized Eye Care
At Retina Consultants of Alabama, we use advanced retinal imaging and treatment technology to diagnose, monitor, and manage diseases affecting the retina, macula, and vitreous. Our physicians provide both in-office diagnostic testing and specialized retinal treatments designed to help preserve and protect vision.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
OCT imaging provides highly detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, allowing our physicians to detect swelling, fluid, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, and other retinal conditions with precision.
Optos® Widefield Retinal Photography
Optos imaging captures ultra-widefield photographs of the retina, helping document retinal disease and allowing visualization of areas beyond the central retina during examination.
Fluorescein Angiography (FA)
Fluorescein angiography uses specialized imaging to evaluate retinal blood flow and detect leaking or abnormal blood vessels associated with diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, retinal vascular disorders, and other retinal conditions.
Electroretinography (ERG)
ERG testing evaluates retinal function by measuring the electrical responses of retinal cells. This advanced diagnostic test may assist in diagnosing inherited retinal diseases and other complex retinal disorders.
Intravitreal Injections
Our physicians perform intravitreal injections using advanced medications to treat retinal conditions such as wet macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions, and other diseases that may threaten vision.
Retinal Laser Treatments
Retinal laser procedures are used to treat a variety of retinal conditions including diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, and retinal vascular disease. Laser treatment can help stabilize retinal damage and reduce the risk of vision loss.
