Please come to Palisades Alliance for Seniors' November 18 program, titled "Retina and Vitreous Disorders.”
Our speaker will be Daniel Su, M.D. Dr. Su is a physician with Retina-Vitreous Associates Medical Group in Los Angeles.
The retina is a thin layer of tissue on the inside back wall of your eye that’s responsible for vision. Dr. Su will review a few diseases that can affect the retina, including macular degeneration, macular holes, retinal tears and detachment. He will discuss warning signs for retinal disease, and what vision changes indicate the need for immediate medical attention.
Dr. Su received his undergraduate degree from UCLA and his medical degree from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. Following an internship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, he completed his residency training in ophthalmology at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA. He went on to complete a two-year vitreoretinal surgical fellowship at the renowned Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia.
He has authored numerous peer-reviewed scientific publications and textbook chapters on vitreoretinal diseases and has been an invited speaker to present scientific papers and abstracts at various national ophthalmic and retina subspecialty meetings. He has been recognized with awards for both research and surgery.
