About Me

Dr. Adrian C. Au is a vitreoretinal specialist who treats the full spectrum of medical and surgical retina conditions. He cares for patients with diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal tears and detachments, macular holes and epiretinal membranes, vascular occlusions, and uveitis. His approach blends advanced imaging, in-office treatments such as anti-VEGF injections and laser, and state-of-the-art microsurgery when needed. Board-certified in ophthalmology, Dr. Au completed residency in the UCLA STAR Program and a fellowship in vitreoretinal surgery at UCLA. He brings a strong scientific perspective as an MD/PhD trained in molecular, cellular, and integrative physiology, which informs thoughtful counseling and evidence-based decisions tailored to each patient’s goals and lifestyle. Whether a same-day evaluation for new flashes and floaters or a long-term plan for chronic disease, he focuses on clear communication, coordinated care with referring doctors, and careful follow-up to protect and improve sight.
