Retina Group of Florida is a leading retina-only ophthalmology practice that has been providing state-of-the-art retinal, macular, and vitreoretinal care for over 40 years. With 25 convenient locations throughout Broward County, Palm Beach County, Pinellas County, and the Gulf Coast area, including Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Brooksville, Cape Coral, Clearwater, Delray Beach, Fort Myers, Fort Pierce, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Hollywood - West, Inverness, Jupiter, Lakewood Ranch, Margate, Miramar, Naples - Goodlette Frank Rd, Naples - Pine Ridge Rd, Plantation, Port Charlotte, Sarasota, Stuart, Trinity, Venice, and Wellington. We're easily accessible to patients across all of Southeast and Southwest Florida and beyond.

Our retina specialists and vitreoretinal surgeons have been recognized as some of the top ophthalmologists in the country by prominent publications such as Castle Connolly and the New York Times. Using the most sophisticated equipment and techniques, we diagnose and treat the full spectrum of vitreoretinal conditions, including dry and wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, retinal detachment, macular holes, macular puckers (epiretinal membranes), and more. We are also actively involved in retina clinical trials and operate a fully staffed retina research center so that we can provide our patients with the most advanced retinal care available.
