What does a retina specialist treat?

Retina specialists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the retina and macula, including diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal tears, and detachment. They use specialized imaging and treatments to protect vision and coordinate care when surgery or ongoing monitoring is needed.

When should I see a retina specialist?

Consider evaluation if you notice new flashes, sudden floaters, blurred or distorted central vision, dark spots, or a shadow in your side vision. A retina specialist can confirm the cause, rule out urgent issues, and recommend a treatment plan.

What is retina eye surgery, and when is it necessary?

Retina eye surgery may be recommended for problems like retinal detachment, severe bleeding, macular holes, or complex scar tissue. Your specialist reviews imaging, explains risks and benefits, and outlines recovery so you understand the purpose and expected outcomes clearly.

How do you decide between in-office treatment and retina eye surgery?

Your plan depends on the diagnosis and severity. Some conditions respond well to in-office procedures or close monitoring, while others require retinal eye surgery for stabilization or repair. We explain the reasoning and next steps.
