About Me

Eric Chen, MD, is a medical and surgical retina specialist who cares for the full spectrum of retinal disease. He combines careful diagnostics with clear, step-by-step conversations so patients understand their condition and options. Whether someone is dealing with sudden flashes and floaters, long-standing diabetic changes, or age-related macular degeneration, he tailors a plan that may include observation, medicines, lasers, or surgery to protect and improve vision.

Dr. Chen completed his undergraduate studies at Stanford University and earned his MD from Baylor College of Medicine. He trained in ophthalmology at the Vanderbilt Eye Institute, where he served as chief resident, followed by a two-year fellowship in medical retina and retina surgery at Wills Eye Hospital. His professional interests include diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and surgical disorders of the macula and retina. Patients appreciate his steady approach, willingness to answer questions, and focus on durable outcomes that fit their goals and daily life.
