A retina specialist is an ophthalmologist with additional training in retina diseases — the layer at the back of the eye that captures images.
They treat conditions that, without timely treatment, can seriously affect vision.
The retina specialist performs a detailed retina exam, almost always with dilated pupils.
They may order specialized imaging, like optical coherence tomography, to see the retina's layers in more detail.
With a diagnosis, they'll explain treatment, which may include monitoring, injected eye medication, or, in some cases, surgery.
