About Me

Dr. Sai H. Chavala is a fellowship-trained retina specialist and board-certified ophthalmologist who cares for patients with diseases of the retina and vitreous that can threaten sight. He combines advanced imaging with laser, injection-based therapies, and vitreoretinal surgery to help patients protect and restore vision, with particular focus on macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion.

Dr. Chavala completed ophthalmology residency at the Cole Eye Institute Cleveland Clinic Foundation and went on to a fellowship in surgical retina at Duke University, along with a research fellowship in stem cells and regenerative medicine at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Weill Medical College of Cornell University. He has also served in academic roles, including teaching the latest techniques in retinal surgery.

He is committed to clear communication and to offering innovative options, including clinical research studies when appropriate, so patients feel informed and supported throughout their care.
