High Country Macula, Retina, and Vitreous, PC

Preserving and restoring your vision.
Our patients and their sight come first.

We know your sight is precious. At High Country Macula, we exist to help you understand, preserve and restore your vision, and to address your feelings and expectations in an ethical and encompassing manner. We care very much about your quality of life.

Our ultimate goal is the improvement of your visual function. High Country Macula Retinologists meet this goal by first assessing your condition through an in-depth Vitreoretinal examination, and when indicated, are assisted by the very latest in non-invasive OCT Angiography, Fluorescein and ICG Angiography, B-scan Ultrasonography and Color Photography. After a diagnosis is made, we then focus on stabilizing, preserving, and restoring your vision whenever possible.

Most patients who are referred to High Country Macula are experiencing severe visual problems. We commonly evaluate and treat Retinal Tears and Detachments, Diabetic Retinopathy, Macular Degeneration, Macular Pucker or Hole, inflammatory ocular conditions, hereditary retinal diseases, and ocular trauma. Our welcoming and compassionate care centers are located in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Gallup and Roswell. High Country Macula physicians perform Vitreoretinal surgeries at both Presbyterian and Lovelace Hospitals in Albuquerque, where we also assist with Albuquerque’s City Call coverage for Ophthalmology.

Studies have shown that early intervention is critical for optimal eye health, and our door is always open to patients in need. High Country’s Retinologists routinely collaborate with your general eye care provider — your Optometrist or Ophthalmologist or another referring medical professional — in a shared management relationship, a collaboration designed to improve your outcome.

At High Country Macula, our belief is that every patient who visits our offices should leave with a clear understanding of his or her pathology and treatment options. We care for our patients in the least invasive manner possible and with the most advanced technology available. Your confidence in our ethical and efficacious treatment is paramount to us.

Our primary concern is how well you see and how well you experience the quality of your life. Thank you for visiting us and welcome to High Country Macula.

Always Retina, Only Retina.
Focus. Expertise. Caring.

We understand the joy that preserving and restoring your sight can bring. At High Country Macula, our commitment to you, and to every patient, is to provide our very best care, every time we see you, and at every step of your journey.
Always Retina, Only Retina. This is focus.

Our practice focus is specific to the back of your eyeball. We treat only pathologic conditions of the Macula, Retina, and Vitreous. We’re accomplished specialists, proud that all of our physicians are board-certified and fellowship-trained Vitreoretinal Surgeons who are here for two reasons only: to help you preserve and restore your eyesight, and to improve your quality of life.
Always Retina, Only Retina. This is expertise.

Medical School is stringent, and yet it is only the starting point for our surgeons’ paths to High Country Macula. All of our physicians are Medical Doctors first, with a medical and surgical Residency in Ophthalmology, and with additional sub-specialty Fellowship training in diseases and surgery of the Macula, Retina, and Vitreous. Even though we have all trained as General Ophthalmologists, our every day work, and our entire careers, consist only of the practice of Retina.

High Country Macula surgeons have more than 80 years of combined Vitreoretinal surgical experience. Our support staff consists predominantly of Certified Ophthalmic Technicians, Certified Ophthalmic Assistants, and expertly trained Color Photographers. We stand ready to provide you with the finest Vitreoretinal expertise available.
Always Retina, Only Retina. This is caring.

While practicing at the leading edge of Vitreoretinal care as a dedicated Retina-only practice, High Country Macula has more ancillary staff per patient than other practices in the region. And because we schedule fewer patients throughout the day, we have more time to educate you and your loved ones, and to discuss your various concerns. Our physician/patient interaction is authentic, and when indicated, we provide immediate treatment and emergency surgeries. Your outcome is our ultimate concern.

We are honored to assist you in your quest to preserve and restore your vision, and to maintain the quality of life you deserve. Thank you for considering us, and welcome to High Country Macula.
