retina specialist
This is an ophthalmologist (MD) who goes on to sub-specialize in the treatment of retina problems. Retina doctors perform surgeries to correct retinal problems such as retinal detachments and membrane peels. They also treat wet macular degeneration, performing injection procedures and advanced retinal laser procedures. These doctors don’t typically perform other eye services such as refraction for glasses, nor do they treat problems like glaucoma or cataracts.
