Michael M. Lai, M.D., Ph.D.
Celebrated Retina Specialist, Retina Group of Washington
Dr. Lai, a physician for adult and pediatric patients at Retina Group of Washington, will explore the vital role of the retina (the light-sensitive layer of nerve tissue lining the inner eye) and why it is a most integral part of how we see – plus what to do if our retina is damaged.
Bring questions and concerns for the open Q&A, when low vision specialist Adrianna Wiseman, O.D., will join Dr. Lai.
