Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Retina & Vitreous ophthalmologist do?
A Retina & Vitreous ophthalmologist is a Ophthalmology physician with focused training in the medical and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the retina and vitreous. After completing Ophthalmology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general ophthalmologist typically handles day to day.
What conditions does a Retina & Vitreous ophthalmologist treat?
A Retina & Vitreous ophthalmologist commonly treats macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, macular hole, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal vein occlusion. Many also see closely related conditions within Ophthalmology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general ophthalmologist.
When should I see a Retina & Vitreous ophthalmologist?
Consider seeing a Retina & Vitreous ophthalmologist when you have flashes, floaters, distorted vision, or a known retinal condition needing specialist care, when a primary care clinician or general ophthalmologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Retina & Vitreous ophthalmologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.
How is a Retina & Vitreous ophthalmologist different from a general ophthalmologist?
Both are board-eligible ophthalmologists, but a Retina & Vitreous ophthalmologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the medical and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the retina and vitreous. General ophthalmologists treat a broad range of Ophthalmology concerns; Retina & Vitreous ophthalmologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, macular hole, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal vein occlusion.
