South Bay Retina, Inc.

At South Bay Retina, we distinguish our services from other medical practices by addressing the immediate needs of a patient but also the root cause(s) of disease. The appearance of retinal vessels, the function of the optic nerve, and other metrics provide insights into cardiovascular and neurologic status. This integrative approach relies on the use of next generation diagnostic tests that enable earlier recognition of disease processes. As an integrative eye care clinic, we identify dysfunction before there are permanent changes leading to structural damage and visual decline. Doing so gives our patients much better outcomes and in many cases leads to better general health!
