Retinal specialists are medical doctors that have received one or two years of additional training in the diagnosis, medical treatment, and surgical treatment of disorders of the retina, macula, and vitreous.
Most eye doctors do not treat many serious retinal conditions. Therefore, patients are usually diagnosed with a retinal condition by their general eye doctor (an ophthalmologist, Eye MD or an optometrist). The patients are then sent to a retinal specialist so that a diagnosis can be made and if needed, a medical or surgical treatment plan can be undertaken.
