With retina centers in Elmhurst, NY, Flushing, NY, Great Neck, NY, Hauppauge, NY, New City, NY, Scarsdale, NY, Riverhead, NY, Rockville Centre, NY, Shirley, NY, and Westbury, NY, we’re easily accessible to patients throughout Long Island, Manhattan, Queens, the Hudson Valley, and all of New York. Our retina specialists and surgeons have trained at some of the most renowned institutions in the United States. We have a long history of participating in groundbreaking retina research and clinical trials, which provide patients with access to cutting-edge treatments such as retinal gene therapy and retinal implant surgery.

Using the most advanced equipment and techniques, we provide a full spectrum of diagnostic testing and treatment for all retinal, macular, and vitreous conditions, including dry and wet age-related macular degeneration {AMD}, diabetic retinopathy, retinal tear and detachment, macular hole, macular pucker (epiretinal membrane), uveitis, lattice degeneration, and more. We also specialize in treating pediatric retinal conditions, such as retinopathy of prematurity, juvenile retinoschisis, and retinitis pigmentosa.

We are the preferred retina practice for the Northwell Health hospital network. We’re also a proud member of Retina Consultants of America, a network of the leading retina practices across the country.
