Our vision is to create a center that is committed to treating the most advanced and complex retinal disorders, combined with a research center devoted to the development of cutting edge therapies.

History

Established in 2007.

The Retina Macula Institute was founded by Dr. Ron P. Gallemore, M.D., Ph.D., an internationally recognized figure in the retina world.

He began his career at UCLA where he founded a research laboratory for the study of retinal function. He then trained in retina surgery at Duke University where he served as faculty and trained under Dr. Robert Machemer, the father of modern vitreo retinal surgery.

In 1997 Dr. Gallemore joined the prestigious Retina Vitreous Associated Medical Group in Los Angeles where he became a principle investigator in clinical studies. After a decade in practice and being made full partner, Dr. Gallemore decided in 2007 to pursue his dream of founding his own Institute — an institute with a vision.
