A retina specialist is a doctor who specializes in ophthalmology, the study of the eyes, and surgery and disorders of the retina and vitreous body of the eye. This type of practice is also called vitreoretinal medicine. The retina is the part of the eye that has cells that sense light. When light strikes your body, it is transformed into electrical impulses, which are transmitted to your brain through the optic nerve. Between the lens and retina is the gel-like material called the vitreous body, also known as the vitreous humor or vitreous fluid. The vitreous humor is what gives your eyes their shape.
