What do Retina Specialist Ophthalmologists do?
Retina specialist ophthalmologists diagnose and treat diseases and conditions of the retina, macula, and vitreous, which are the delicate tissues at the back of the eye.
They perform highly specialized medical and surgical treatments, such as surgery for retinal detachment, and manage conditions like diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and macular holes.
These specialists have undergone extra training after their general ophthalmology residency to handle complex retinal issues.
What they do
Diagnose and treat specific retinal diseases: They are experts in conditions affecting the retina, including:
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Macular holes and pucker
- Retinal detachments
- Retinal vein occlusions
Perform complex microsurgeries: They perform delicate, microscopic surgeries, often using lasers, to repair damage:
- Retinal detachment surgery
- Vitrectomies for macular holes, macular puckers, or diabetic complications
Manage severe eye trauma: They treat injuries that have affected the back of the eye, such as a ruptured globe.
Treat eye cancers: They are involved in the diagnosis and treatment of ocular malignancies, such as retinoblastoma.
