Our team
Understanding your eyes
The retina is the layer at the very back of the eye that turns light into nerve impulses, which travel along the optic nerve to the brain. It is what lets your brain perceive what you are looking at. Many retinal conditions can seriously affect your vision, and some have no early symptoms, so they can be missed without a yearly dilated eye exam.
Read about the signs and symptoms of common retinal disorders, and call our office to schedule a consultation with a retina specialist.
A sudden increase in flashes or floaters, a shadow or curtain over part of your vision, or sudden vision loss in one eye can be a retinal emergency. Call us during office hours at (305) 712-6711 to schedule an urgent appointment.

Best doctor ever. When I lost my vision in my right eye I almost lost my mind. I didn't know what to do with myself. I was depressed and stressed out, but Dr. Diaz performed an amazing surgery on me and I am back to normal; my vision even improved better than before. Thank you Dr. Diaz, you and your staff are amazing people!

Dr. Diaz was a godsend. I lived in Boca Raton and drove all the way to Coral Gables to see him, and each time we were treated with kindness and respect. He went above and beyond for us, calling after the procedure to make sure everything went well. One of those rare doctors who truly care about their patients.
