A Note on Retina Surgery

There are times when retinal and macular conditions are serious enough that surgery may be necessary. When this happens, there are few doctors who are more qualified to operate than Dr. Anita Shane.

Please note that some retinal procedures, such as intravitreal injection and retinal laser, are performed in our office. We perform outpatient surgery at the Bayview Surgery Center, Surgery Center at St. Andrews, or at Manatee or Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
