Welcome To Our Website

We are five highly trained and experienced vitreo-retinal surgeons, specializing in the evaluation and treatment of retinal disease and injury. We offer state-of-the-art care in convenient locations throughout southern Connecticut. We know that trauma to the retina and the subsequent remedy can be confusing and possibly frightening to patients and their loved ones. We have designed this website to provide patients with as much information as possible about the various disease states and the available treatments, so you will feel comfortable with your care.
If you are an eye-care professional, please visit our sections on research our doctors are doing and new technologies in eye care, where we will discuss current research protocols and emerging technology that benefits our patients. The site also contains information about our education and experience, our practice, and services we offer such as the Low-Vision Support Group. We invite you to e-mail us with any questions you have and we promise a timely response.

For Patients
Our staff has a long history of working with patients with visual difficulties and is always ready to lend a hand, whether it's helping you to your car, filling out your paperwork, or even pouring you a cup of coffee before your appointment. Patients are the heart of our practice so we make sure we take good care of you! If you will be having surgery, we provide a pre-surgery consultation for you and a relative or friend where you will receive thorough information about the procedure and complete instructions for follow-up care. We encourage you to write down questions you have while at home and call the office any time if you do not understand something or need help. We are available 24 hours a day. We know that getting around can be difficult in the immediate period following eye surgery, so for patients with special needs we offer post-surgical house calls by trained medical personnel.

Ophthalmology, in general, and Retina-Vitreous, in particular, are complex subjects which you should discuss with your eye doctor. The New England Retina Associates hope that you will find the information provided on this website helpful and educational, but this information should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.
