At Ram Eye Care and Retina Center, we utilize state of the art diagnostic instruments as well as a physical examination to determine the type and extent of the damage and develop a personalized, prompt and effective treatment plan. There are various methods to treat a retinal detachment. In most cases, surgery is required to repair the detachment.

Most surgeries are successful, although in some instances a recurrent retinal detachment may develop requiring a second surgical procedure.
A Few Words From Our Customers
Came to this eye doctor once on this place in 2011, but in 2015, I’d moved back to Boston to go to another eye doctor in Malden. The appointment on this place resumed in 2018, a day before I return to Boston.
