Why choose Geisinger for retina care?
Your retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye that makes sight possible. Several conditions can affect it, from a detached retina and retinal tear to diabetic retinopathy. But when you visit a specialist who can catch these conditions early, many can be treated.

Having that kind of care nearby means you can get an early, accurate diagnosis and start treatment quickly, before a problem has the chance to cause long-term damage.
