DR Oyakawa,

I went to four different  retina specialists in last 2 months. I live in jacksonville FL. Everyone say OCT  and FA scan looks normal. Current DR I am seeing said it is the scar tissue that causing waviness. This scar tissue was not there when I first started seeing him. He said shots are not going to help me. I am assuming its excessive stretching of the eye causing this tear. I am considering to contact Dr Brian Ward in california as he is specialized in myopia?

Best specialists in jacksonville  FL (or) surrounding areas??

Thankyou
Sri
