Meet Gabriel Dib
Gabriel’s career in eye care began in Venezuela, where he trained as an ophthalmologist and then as a retinal surgeon. For 11 years he performed vitreoretinal surgery, took part in clinical trials, and published research.
After moving to the United States with his family, he worked in the operating room as a retinal surgical assistant to Dr. Thomas Shane. He then earned his nurse practitioner degree and joined Shane Retina as a retina provider.
At Venice Retina, Gabriel examines patients, reviews retinal imaging, gives eye injections, and follows patients with long-term retinal conditions. He works with Dr. Anita Shane and the practice’s physician team.

Retina Treatments With Gabriel
Gabriel pairs careful imaging with ongoing monitoring to recommend the right treatment at the right time.
Gabriel gives injections for wet macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and retinal vein occlusion, right in our Venice office.
These newer injections slow geographic atrophy, the advanced form of dry macular degeneration, to help protect remaining vision.
Gentle red and near-infrared light supports retinal cells in intermediate dry macular degeneration. Sessions are painless.
Laser therapy helps manage retinal tears and diabetic eye disease, often as an in-office procedure.
When you need an operation, Gabriel works closely with our surgeons before and after your procedure.
OCT scans and other retinal imaging let Gabriel track your condition and see how you respond to treatment over time.
