COVID-19 UPDATES FOR YOUR VISIT

Retina Health Institute is committed to the health and safety of our patients during this uncertain time. We are actively contacting patients that do not need to be seen over the next few months to reschedule their appointments. If you do not receive a call to reschedule your appointment, the physicians have deemed your visit and treatment essential and you should keep any scheduled appointments to avoid vision loss. Below is a list of center updates to help patients prepare for their appointments.
