The following discussions are generalized comments on some of the most common surgical procedures that we perform at Retina Consultants of Southern California. Although it is possible to provide some general information about the risks and benefits as well as a description of the procedures, it is important to understand that it requires a clinical evaluation of the patient in the office to provide the most accurate assessment. We strive to provide information to our patients in a clear and comprehensive manner. We hope to answer as many of your questions as possible about these complex medical procedures and leave you with a clear understanding of your treatment options.
