Saving Vision in Arizona Since 1974

Whatever the reason for your impaired vision, Associated Retina Consultants has an experienced team of Arizona eye specialists to diagnose and treat your vision problem. Our focus is on the retina and macula (the back of the eye) and the vitreous humor (gel like tissue) in the eye. When you have problems with these parts of your eye, your vision will be in jeopardy. We work hard every day to protect and save our patients’ vision, helping them lead better quality lives.
