A vitreoretinal specialist is a highly trained medical physician who specializes in the diagnosis, evaluation and medical or surgical treatment of diseases affecting the vitreous gel, macula or peripheral retina in the back of the eye. Typically completing 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, 1 year of internship, 3 years of Ophthalmology Residency and 2 years of Vitreoretinal Surgical Fellowship, all of our physicians are Board Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and capable of treating the microscopic complexities of medical and surgical retinal disease.
Our vitreoretinal specialists do not provide any primary eye care services such as prescribing eyeglasses or contacts, evaluating or treating problems involving the front of the eye, evaluation for cataract surgery or LASIK/PRK refractive surgery; but we work very closely with our referral physicians who can provide
these services.
