Retinal diseases vary widely. Some are common and easily remedied, while others are rare, more difficult to diagnose and require more complex or, sometimes, urgent treatment. Mayo Clinic ophthalmologists are skilled in differentiating these diseases, and then designing a treatment plan that slows or stops the disease and preserves as much vision as possible.

Specialists at Mayo treat between 5,500 and 6,000 patients for retinal disease each year. Eye exams, tests (including laboratory tests), interpretation and treatment plan decisions typically occur on the same day.
