Tertiary Retinal Surgery

Vision. A precious gift to be preserved. The Tertiary Retinal Surgery Program at Good Samaritan Hospital offers specialized treatment for diseases of the back of the eye that put vision at risk. State of the art care is provided for conditions or injuries to the retina, the nerve lining that converts images to electric signals which are sent to the brain; the vitreous, the jelly-like substance filling the middle of the eye; and the macula, a light-sensitive area of the retina which allows for seeing fine details clearly.

If you have vision-related problems, you will want to receive your care from highly trained and experienced specialists. The Tertiary-Retinal Surgeons who practice at Good Samaritan Hospital, have completed ophthalmology residency as well as fellowship training in the medical diseases and surgical treatments of the retina, vitreous and macula.
