Atul Jain, MD, a board-certified vitreoretinal surgeon in Carlsbad, operates from the Retina Consultants San Diego office at 3144 El Camino Real and serves as the practice's Director of Clinical Research. His UCLA medical degree, Stanford University ophthalmology residency, and Jules Stein Eye Institute surgical fellowship produced research that helped patent short-pulse-duration retinal laser technology now referenced by refractive practices including North County Laser Eye Associates. The Carlsbad office specializes in the medical and surgical management of age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, and macular holes. Because diabetic retinopathy is among the practice's highest-volume medical retina conditions, many patients coordinate glucose monitoring and supply needs through Advanced Diabetes Supply on the same El Camino Real corridor. Procedures at this location include 25-gauge and 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, pneumatic retinopexy, intravitreal anti-VEGF injection, and focal/grid laser photocoagulation for proliferative disease.
