Global Retina Institute

Global Retina Institute is an optometrist and retinal care practice in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded by Dr. Robin Ross, the practice brings retinal research, diagnostic technology, and surgical care to patients in Central Phoenix and the surrounding communities. It treats and manages a range of surgical and medical vitreous and retinal conditions, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, and retinal detachments, and offers services such as laser floater treatment and dry eye care. The practice welcomes new patients and accepts Medicare Part B along with private and self-pay arrangements.

The practice pairs standard eye exams with diagnostic technology. It uses the Navilas retinal laser, a navigated system designed to cause less discomfort and allow more precise treatment, along with ultra-widefield photography that captures far more of the retina than standard cameras. Orbital ultrasound and imaging of the front and back of the eye are available onsite. The practice also offers Valeda by LumiThera as a treatment option.

Beyond its Arizona work, the Global Retina Institute pursues a mission of reducing global blindness and expanding eye care in developing countries, with team mission trips that inform how the practice cares for patients at home. The practice describes a small, tight-knit team, short wait times, ground-floor covered parking, follow-up calls, and a patient portal for chart access, educational materials, and communication with the team, plus mobile check-in. Office hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:00 to 5:00 and Friday from 7:30 to 4:30.

The practice sits on East Cactus Road in Phoenix. It holds a rating of 4.90 from the customers who have reviewed it.

For patients in Central Phoenix seeking specialized retinal care, the Global Retina Institute combines advanced diagnostics with a teaching and humanitarian mission that extends from Arizona to Zambia.
