What is it?
Retina care is a sub-specialty. A general eye doctor can spot a problem, but laser, injections and vitreo-retinal surgery should be done by a retina specialist, ideally with a fellowship in vitreo-retina.
Ask direct questions: who will operate, how many of these operations they do, what equipment is used, what happens in an emergency at night, and what the total cost will be.
