Our Clearwater location is staffed by board-certified ophthalmologists and fellowship-trained retina specialists who offer extensive medical and surgical retinal services. Utilizing advanced diagnostics and imaging, we direct accurate evaluation and personalized treatment plans.

We provide patients with the latest treatments, including anti-VEGF injections, laser treatment, and evidence-based care for every condition. We prioritize patient education, rapid follow-up, and excellent communication with referring physicians to ensure seamless care.

Conditions We Treat

We treat all types of macular and retinal disease. These include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, retinal tears and retinal detachments, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, vitreous floaters, vascular occlusions, uveitis, and other macular and retinal pathologies.

A dilated eye examination is extremely crucial for screening the eyes. It allows physicians to view the macula, optic nerve, vitreous, and retina’s edges up close to detect problems such as tears or detachments early.

What Will You Do On Your Visit?

Your visit features a thorough eye exam with dilation and advanced imaging. If necessary, same-day treatment—such as injections or laser therapy—may be done to assist in preserving your vision and reducing the likelihood of worsening.

You will have clear directions on home observation, follow-up timing, and when to have urgent care for complaints such as flashes, new floaters, or a curtain over your eye.

Emergency Symptoms: Threat Of Retinal Detachment-

If you see new flashes of light, a sudden increase in floaters, or a shadow or curtain in your side vision, get care right away. These may be signs of a retinal tear or detachment. Early treatment can avoid permanent vision loss.
