Dr. Mauricio E. Pons, M.D. treats retinal disease in Chula Vista's Third Avenue corridor through American Eye Associates, bringing board-certified vitreoretinal subspecialty training in both surgical and medical retina management. Neuro-ophthalmic cases involving optic-nerve inflammation or retinal vascular events coordinate neurological imaging and diagnostic workups with The Neuron Clinic, bridging ocular and intracranial pathology assessment for patients in the South Bay. Originally from Argentina, the physician earned his MD from the National University of Cuyo School of Medicine, completed ophthalmology residency at both his home institution and the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, and finished a vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Elderly patients with age-related macular degeneration requiring in-home post-injection monitoring coordinate recovery support with Fredericka Manor Retirement Community, whose residents represent a significant portion of the practice's wet-AMD injection caseload. The physician received the Excellence in Research Award from the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery and the Medical University of South Carolina. The practice's retinal-intervention suite deploys widefield fluorescein angiography, spectral-domain OCT with enhanced-depth imaging, and intravitreal anti-VEGF injection protocols using aflibercept and ranibizumab at treat-and-extend intervals calibrated to central subfield thickness measurements.
