Dr. Hajir Dadgostar is an ophthalmologist and vitreoretinal surgeon practicing in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. His specialty focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the back of the eye, particularly the retina and macula. The macula is the part of the retina responsible for central vision and the ability to see fine details.
The services provided at his practice include the evaluation and treatment of conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal tears and detachments, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and retinal vein occlusions. Individuals experiencing symptoms such as flashes of light, a sudden increase in floaters, blurred vision, or sudden changes in eyesight may also require a specialized retinal evaluation.
The diagnostic process may involve an eye examination, retinal imaging, and other relevant diagnostic tests, depending on the patient’s condition. Treatment is determined according to the type and severity of the disease and may include intravitreal injections, laser therapy, or retinal and vitreous surgery. When a retinal tear or detachment is suspected, prompt medical evaluation is particularly important.
Dr. Dadgostar earned his medical degree and PhD in molecular biology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He completed his ophthalmology residency at the Jules Stein Eye Institute and a fellowship in vitreoretinal surgery at the Cole Eye Institute, affiliated with Cleveland Clinic. His professional background also includes academic and research activities related to retinal diseases.
