That view never gets old. 👁️✨

Widefield perspective showing a PCIOL dislocation into the vitreous—real pathology, real impact.
Every detail matters when you’re protecting vision—and moments like this are why we do what we do.

World Health Day is a reminder that health is everything—and that includes your vision. 👁️

In ophthalmology, we don’t just protect sight—we preserve independence, quality of life, and the ability to experience the world fully. From early detection to advanced treatment, eye health is a critical piece of the bigger health picture.

Because when you can see clearly, you can live fully.

3rd Encelto procedure successfully completed at Baptist Women’s Hospital

Watching innovation in action never gets old. Dr.Salar Rafieetary continues to push the standard of care forward, changing the lives of patients with MacTel through this groundbreaking surgical approach.

Even more exciting—building the future alongside it. Proud to be training another surgical technician, Lacie Yarbrough, as we continue to expand and prepare for many more Encelto procedures ahead.

Progress isn’t just about technology—it’s about people, precision, and purpose.

Spontaneous venous pulsation (SVP) — subtle, but powerful.

That rhythmic collapse of the retinal vein at the optic nerve isn’t just interesting… it’s clinically meaningful.
Its presence can indicate normal intracranial pressure.
Its absence? That’s when we start asking more questions.

In retina, the smallest details often carry the biggest implications.

30 years. Two leaders. One shared commitment to excellence.

Honoring Dr. Steve Charles and Dr. Mohammad Rafieetary for three decades of working side by side at Charles Retina Institute—advancing retina care, mentoring generations, and setting the standard for what leadership in medicine should look like.

This is more than longevity… it’s legacy.

Focus matters.

Dr. Mohammad Rafieetary PPA with pigment scars

These images tell a story.

When something is out of focus — even slightly — you can miss what truly matters. A subtle change. A faint shadow. Early fluid. The smallest shift that makes the biggest difference.

In retina, clarity isn’t optional.
It’s everything.

Diagnosis depends on detail.
Treatment depends on precision.
Outcomes depend on what we’re able to truly see.

This is why diagnostics matter.
This is why imaging matters.
This is why focus matters.

Because when it comes to someone’s vision, “almost clear” isn’t good enough.
