Diseases of the retina cause severe and debilitating vision loss. Our retina physicians diagnose and treat macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, tumors, inherited retinal disease, retinal detachment, macular holes, and other important retinal diseases. The Joan and Irwin Jacobs Retina Center houses research projects seeking to find solutions for people of all ages who suffer from retinal conditions. The clinical research center at the Jacobs Retina Center enables patients to benefit from the latest advances in diagnostic equipment and therapies. Researchers working in the Center’s laboratories apply the power of genetics and stem cell research towards the treatment of blinding diseases.
I had a lazy eye for over 40 years but, two days ago I had surgery at Shiley Eye Institute and my surgeon, Dr. Robbins, realigned my eye in less than two hours. For the first time in 40 years both of my eyes are facing in the same direction at the same time. It is almost like a miracle but it's actually Dr. Robbins skill and dedication. She has literally changed my life's trajectory.

Dr. Eric Nuddleman - I had detached retina and saw Dr N. He was the most caring and competent Dr. I could have ever chosen. I had no idea how bad the detachment was until Dr. N said we must do it now. Waiting would have caused much more damage & he scheduled it for the next AM. The surgery went well & he saved my vision.! I would highly recommend Dr. N to everyone. As far as I am concerned, his skills as a surgeon are top-notch. I thank God daily for Dr. N!

I felt that I must give due recognition to Elizabeth in prescriptions for being there to help whenever needed. Regardless of whether it is for pre-authorization of any prescription or looking for an alternate eye drop due to pricing of medicines not covered by insurance, she always follows up and does the needed groundwork. I had a chance to interact with her twice in the last couple of months and both times she was super supportive.
