Who We Are
The Retina Center of Vermont is a specialty eye practice limited to the treatment of diseases and surgery of the retina and vitreous. Commonly, this includes retinal tears and detachment, diabetes-related eye disorders, macular degeneration, eye injuries and vitreous problems. Patients that are new to our practice will have a comprehensive consultation as well as possible additional testing ordered by the doctor.
What is a Retina Specialist?
Ophthalmology, like other medical practices, includes numerous sub-specialties. Some ophthalmologists specialize in the removal of cataracts; others may perform laser surgery to correct near or far sightedness.
A Retina Specialist is a Medical Doctor who has completed accredited residency training in Ophthalmology and who has then completed additional sub-specialty training in the diagnosis and management of diseases of the retina, the vitreous, and the macula.
Therefore, a Retina Specialist has been educated as follows:
- Medical School - 4 Years
- Internship - 1 Year
- Ophthalmology Residency - 3 to 4 Years
- Retina-Vitreous Fellowship - 1 to 2 Years
