What Retina Consultants of Southwest Florida does

Retina Consultants of Southwest Florida, operating under the trade name Retina Group of Florida, is a retina-only ophthalmology practice that has provided subspecialty retinal, macular, and vitreoretinal care for approximately 40 years since its founding in 1985. The practice diagnoses and treats the full spectrum of retinal disorders, including age-related macular degeneration (wet and dry), diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and detachments, macular holes and puckers, flashes and floaters, artery and vein occlusions, and uveitis. Core service offerings include advanced diagnostic imaging, intravitreal anti-VEGF injections (Avastin, Eylea, Lucentis), retinal implant surgery (Iluvien), laser treatments (photocoagulation and photodynamic therapy), vitreoretinal surgery (vitrectomy and scleral buckle), and the recently introduced photobiomodulation therapy for dry AMD. The practice also operates a fully staffed retina research center with active clinical trials and a physician fellowship program.

The practice is staffed by 27+ board-certified retina specialists and vitreoretinal surgeons, several recognized as top ophthalmologists by Castle Connolly and the New York Times, and delivers care across 25 owned clinic locations spanning Broward County, Palm Beach County, Pinellas County, and the Gulf Coast region of Florida. Patients access the practice through direct self-scheduling, same-day urgent appointments, physician referrals from primary care providers and optometrists, and a multilingual website supporting ten languages. The practice is affiliated with Retina Consultants of America, a national network of retina practices. Revenue is generated through professional services billed to patients and insurance payers (most major plans accepted, though not all), with payment also accepted via cash, checks, debit, and major credit cards.
