Craig Sklar, M.D. and Stephanie Sugin, M.D. are The Eye Care Group’s Board-certified and fellowship-trained retina and vitreous specialists. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue lining the inside of the eye that sends visual input to the optic nerve and brain to form a visual image. The vitreous is the gel-like substance that fills the inside cavity of the eye between the lens and the retina.

Our doctors are skilled in diagnosing and treating diseases of the retina and vitreous, including:

Diabetic Retinopathy Hypertensive Retinopathy Macular Degeneration Macular Edema Macular Holes Macular Pucker High Myopia Retinal Tear

Retinal Detachment Retinal Vein Occlusion Retinal Artery Occlusion Vitreous Detachment Vitreous Hemorrhage Endophthalmitis Posterior Uveitis Inherited Retinal Dystrophies

At The Eye Care Group, we believe that early detection optimizes patient outcomes. In addition to providing our patients with the highest quality eye care, we offer the latest in imaging technology to provide detailed information about the structure of the eye to help guide diagnosis and treatment. Treatment options that you and your ophthalmologist may discuss include observation, medical management, laser treatments, intravitreal injections, and retinal surgery.

On your initial visit, expect a thorough dilated retinal examination. Your ophthalmologist may also recommend that you undergo special testing, such as fundus photography, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), or fluorescein angiography. Therefore, we recommend that you plan on an appointment length of approximately two hours. Please plan on arriving either 15 minutes early or complete the registration form prior to your appointment.
