For those who went from ophthalmologist to retina specialist, do they both perform the same monitoring tests??
I was wondering if they both do the same monitoring tests. My health insurance only covers ophthalmologists and so want to find out if they both perform the same monitoring tests since I would have to pay out of pocket to see a retina specialist.
Hi
. Such a great question! From what I understand, a retina specialist is an ophthalmologist who has undergone additional training. It would be interesting learn how that extra training impacts their testing and treatment of macular degeneration. - Lori (Team Member)
