Laguna Retina

About Us

Boutique subspecialty care with the expertise of a major academic center — and the personal attention of a solo practice.

Our Practice

Retina Specialty.
Personal Care.

Laguna Retina is a boutique vitreoretinal surgery practice located in Laguna Woods, California, serving patients throughout Orange County and Southern California.

Founded by Dr. Nathan Rudometkin, the practice was built around a simple belief: that the most advanced retina care starts with listening. Every appointment is unhurried. Every question is welcome. Every diagnosis is explained in plain language.

We combine fellowship-trained surgical expertise with the warmth and accessibility of a truly personal practice — because protecting your vision matters, and so does how you feel while we do it.
