Welcome to Retina & Vitreous Consultants of Virginia. We provide top-notch retinal care with a focus on educating our patients about their complex retinal and vitreous diseases. At Retina & Vitreous Consultants of Virginia, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic technologies to evaluate your retinal condition and detect subtle problems before vision is lost. In addition, we use the latest evidence-based medical treatments including injectable medications and laser treatments to address vision-threatening conditions ranging from Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy to Retinal Vein Occlusions and Retinal Tears. We are also a complete Surgical retina practice and are pleased to offer small gauge vitrectomy and novel techniques and instrumentation to handle a myriad of complex retinal and vitreous conditions that require surgery. in the field of retinal surgery.
We have a dedicated and friendly office staff focused on making your visit with us relaxing and informative. In addition, we pride ourselves on promptly communicating the findings of your retinal examination and evaluation with the specific eye doctor that referred you and other relevant medical doctors that care for you including your internist. Whether we communicate in person or in writing, we realize it is important for critical members of a healthcare team to be updated on your retinal condition. After all, we are only one part of a larger healthcare team looking out for your health and well-being.
We hope this website will introduce you to our growing practice and inform you about the myriad of services we provide as well as introduce you to some of the diseases that can affect your retina. As we are a retina-only practice, we focus on diseases and surgery of the retina and vitreous. Please contact other local eye providers for a general ophthalmic problem or issue. Our practice often receives retina patients by referral but you DO NOT need a referral to be seen. You can call us directly to schedule a consultation on your retinal condition. Remember, at the end of the day, your health ultimately lies in your own hands. We do offer second opinions on your retinal condition and once again, you do not need a referral from any doctor to schedule with us. You do however need to have a vitreous or retinal condition that requires our subspecialty evaluation and care. Finally, we welcome new patients from outside our region all the time who may be visiting the Shenandoah Valley region for a short while but need interval care especially if those patients are receiving injections for a retinal condition. We also welcome new patients permanently moving to our region!
Currently, our only office location is in Winchester, VA though we are always looking to expand. We serve the western corridor of Virginia, eastern side of West Virginia, and even parts of Maryland and Pennsylvania. Appointments may be made during office hours. Please note that we have a number of emergency patients each day that we must accommodate due to the real risk of blindness. In addition, many of the eyes we see are complicated with multiple conditions that require careful management and more time. This can make any patient's visit in our office last much longer than what a person may usually be used to in a typical medical or general eye office. Please plan to be in our office up to 2 or more hours given these realities. Bringing snacks, hydrating drinks, reading material, or your iphone or a tablet to keep you occupied is highly suggested. We appreciate your patience as we help our complex patients heal from their vision-threatening conditions of the retina. We will certainly inform you well of your own condition when we meet you and we pride ourselves on providing information that will put you at greater ease.
For questions about a specific eye condition or procedure, or to schedule an appointment, please call us at 540-662-1810. While we take a broad range of insurances including Medicare, we request you call to verify whether we accept your insurance.
