Dr. Mona Camacci is a fellowship-trained vitreoretinal surgeon who treats the full spectrum of retinal and macular disease. She helps patients with macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, vein occlusions, macular holes and puckers, and retinal tears and detachments. In clinic, she takes time to review imaging together, explain recommended therapies—such as injections, laser, or surgery—and outline a clear plan for follow-up. After medical school at Penn State College of Medicine, Dr. Camacci completed ophthalmology residency at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and a vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at the University of Rochester. She also completed a Master of Science at University College Dublin and studied Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Health & Human Rights at Franklin & Marshall College. Dr. Camacci’s approach blends technical expertise with straightforward communication so patients understand options, timelines, and how to protect vision over the long term.
