About Jonathan F. Russell

As retina specialists, we have the greatest job in the world: we use our minds and our hands to make blind people see. I treat all retinal conditions in adults and children. My special interests include complex retinal detachment repair, pediatric retinal surgery, severe ocular trauma, posterior uveitis, advanced retinal imaging, and retinal gene therapy.
