Celebrating a true giant in retina! 👁️✨

​After over 50 incredible years of patient care, Dr. Steve Charles is officially stepping away from seeing patients. While he is closing this clinical chapter, he will continue pushing the boundaries of technology and surgical innovation through his engineering work with Alcon!

​It’s no exaggeration to say that so many of us wouldn't have our careers in ophthalmology without his groundbreaking work. We are immensely grateful for his decades of dedication, vision, and leadership.

​Thank you, Dr. Charles, for everything you’ve given us. Congratulations on this next chapter, you are a true living legend! 🎉👏👁️🐐

30 years of dedication. 30 years of impact. 30 years of changing lives.

Dr. Rafieetary, thank you for the unwavering commitment, the wisdom you bring to every patient, and the standard of excellence you’ve helped build at Charles Retina Institute. Your legacy isn’t just measured in years—it’s seen in every life you’ve touched and every team member you’ve inspired.

We are beyond grateful to have you as part of our story… and if we have anything to say about it, we’re just getting started.

Here’s to 30 years—and to forever. 🖤👁️✨

That view never gets old. 👁️✨

Widefield perspective showing a PCIOL dislocation into the vitreous—real pathology, real impact.
Every detail matters when you’re protecting vision—and moments like this are why we do what we do.

World Health Day is a reminder that health is everything—and that includes your vision. 👁️

In ophthalmology, we don’t just protect sight—we preserve independence, quality of life, and the ability to experience the world fully. From early detection to advanced treatment, eye health is a critical piece of the bigger health picture.

Because when you can see clearly, you can live fully.

3rd Encelto procedure successfully completed at Baptist Women’s Hospital

Watching innovation in action never gets old. Dr.Salar Rafieetary continues to push the standard of care forward, changing the lives of patients with MacTel through this groundbreaking surgical approach.

Even more exciting—building the future alongside it. Proud to be training another surgical technician, Lacie Yarbrough, as we continue to expand and prepare for many more Encelto procedures ahead.

Progress isn’t just about technology—it’s about people, precision, and purpose.

Spontaneous venous pulsation (SVP) — subtle, but powerful.

That rhythmic collapse of the retinal vein at the optic nerve isn’t just interesting… it’s clinically meaningful.
Its presence can indicate normal intracranial pressure.
Its absence? That’s when we start asking more questions.

In retina, the smallest details often carry the biggest implications.
