Reasons To See A Retinologist Specialist Your regular eye doctor may encourage you to see a Retinologist Specialist. This type of provider has advanced training in the health of the eyes, surgical procedures for the eyes, and identifying factors that could adversely affect vision. If you have a retinal condition, they can help you with treatment. Verify the Retinologist Specialist you have in mind is regarded as one of the best. Your vision is important, and you need someone compassionate, skilled, and dedicated to helping you get the best treatment possible. Ask any questions you may have when you go to see them. You may be upset about your vision and need to understand what is taking place.

Your initial appointment with a Retinologist Specialist will take several hours. They are thorough with what they do. There is plenty to look at and review so the diagnosis is correct. Make sure you have someone to drive you home as your eyes will be dilated at the initial appointment. Diagnosis The initial information from your eye exam at your regular eye doctor can show indicators of retinal conditions. They will refer to you a Retinologist Specialist so you can take part in additional tests and screenings. The additional information will help ensure an accurate diagnosis is identified. That is an important step for a treatment plan to work. The stage of the retinal condition also influences the treatment plan. Some issues such as macular holes or retinal detachment will require surgery. They will get you scheduled as soon as possible and complete the procedure. You will be given instructions for recovery so you can plan accordingly. You will need lots of rest and very limited movement in the weeks after such a procedure. Improve Vision While there are risks with any type of surgery, a Retinologist Specialist has advanced training in those procedures. Every effort will be made to improve your vision. The sooner you see them and get the surgery taken care of the better the results. The overall improvement to your vision isn’t going to be known right after surgery. You must be patient and wait for the healing to occur. Each patient will have different results because of all the variables in the mix. Preserve Vision
