Leading Retinal Care in South Florida

Retina Associates of Sarasota is an ophthalmology practice focused on the retina, macula, and vitreous. Our board-certified retina specialists and surgeons use advanced retinal diagnostic and treatment technologies to treat retinal conditions such as macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, macular puckers (i.e. epiretinal membranes), retinal tears or detachment, and uveitis. We also provide care for pediatric retinal diseases, including retinopathy of prematurity, retinitis pigmentosa, and retinoschisis.

Each of our retina centers in Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Venice, and Bradenton are equipped to provide a comprehensive range of treatment options, including eye injections (Avastin, Eylea, Lucentis, and Beovu), vitrectomy, scleral buckle, and retinal implant surgery. We also offer patients early access to cutting-edge treatments through groundbreaking retina research and clinical trials.
