About

Retina San Diego in Encinitas is a sub-specialty retinal surgery and medical retina practice at the North Coast Health Center on El Camino Real, led by a diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology who served as past Chief of Ophthalmology at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. Diabetic retinopathy referrals from primary care providers like North Coast Family Medical Group anchor the practice's high-volume anti-VEGF injection caseload for macular edema and proliferative disease. In-house Spectralis OCT and OCT angiography generate non-invasive cross-sectional retinal maps, while the center introduced Yellow Micropulse subthreshold laser technology to the San Diego market for treating macular conditions without thermal tissue damage. The practice covers the full retinal disease spectrum: wet and dry macular degeneration, rhegmatogenous and tractional retinal detachments, macular pucker, macular hole, retinal vein and artery occlusions, and uveitis. Orbital and posterior segment conditions requiring cross-sectional imaging beyond OCT coordinate with radiology providers like Imaging Healthcare Specialists at the same North Coast Health Center campus. Highest-complexity surgical cases include 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with perfluorocarbon liquid tamponade and endolaser photocoagulation for repair of giant retinal tears exceeding 90 degrees of circumference.
