A retina specialist is an ophthalmologist (medical doctor and eye surgeon) who completed additional fellowship training in diseases and surgery of the retina, macula and vitreous. Dr. Philip Kurochkin and Dr. Jason So are both board-certified ophthalmologists with vitreoretinal surgery fellowships.
North Indiana Retina is located at 303 S Main St, Suite 215 in Mishawaka, Indiana, about 10 to 15 minutes from South Bend and Granger and 20 to 25 minutes from Elkhart. Call 574-291-4000 to schedule.
Many patients are referred by an optometrist, ophthalmologist or primary care doctor, and some insurance plans require it. If you have urgent symptoms such as new floaters, flashes or a shadow in your vision, call us directly and we will help arrange a prompt visit.
We diagnose and treat age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema, retinal tears and detachments, retinal vein and artery occlusions, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, flashes and floaters, and posterior vitreous detachment.
Intravitreal injections are performed in the office after numbing the eye with anesthetic drops or gel. Most patients feel pressure rather than pain, and the injection itself takes only a few seconds.
These can be signs of a retinal tear or detachment, which is an emergency. Call 574-291-4000 right away. We keep same-day appointments for urgent symptoms.
