Patient Education
3D modeling program
At the Retina Institute we offer our patients an innovative hands-on 3D program that walks you through the surgery process and gives you a realistic view of eye conditions and the steps involved in treatment. The interactive animated program, called Eyemaginations, provides a virtual tour for patient-specific diagnosis and outcome. This narrative program is available in English and Spanish.

Patient Registration
We offer patient pre-admission assistance and process patient registration during your visit. Patients may watch a DVD presentation that explains their surgical procedure in the comfort of our lobby.
Community Outreach
The Retina Institute is also committed to community outreach and education beyond its walls. Institute staff conduct community eye screenings that target people who are at higher risk for developing retina diseases, such as individuals aged 55 or older and diabetics.
