Mayo Retina, led by George L. Mayo, MD, is dedicated to the treatment of diseases affecting the macula, vitreous, and retina, including conditions such as macular degeneration. Our practice provides a patient-friendly environment that ensures medical care and eye surgery are a low-stress experience. We are equipped with the latest technology and instrumentation available in our area, including innovative solutions like Alcon Valeda photobiomodulation and Voyager direct selective laser trabeculoplasty. We strive to combine this advanced technology with compassionate care to meet the ophthalmic needs of our patients.
Dr. Mayo graduated from Pomona College then went to University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and interned at Baylor College of Medicine. He spent four years serving Marines and Sailors as a General Medical Officer in the US Navy where he was awarded several decorations, including the Navy Commendation Medal, the Navy Achievement Medal, the Expert Marksmanship Medal and the Fleet Marine Force Ribbon. Dr. Mayo attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
He went on to his three year Ophthalmology residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio where he was twice awarded Resident of the Year. In addition, he was given the Mary Bass Boeker Award for Outstanding Achievement in Research and founded the Medical Student Ophthalmology Club. Moving once more to Pennsylvania, Dr. Mayo completed his two year fellowship in Vitreoretinal Surgery at the Scheie Eye Institute, University of Pennsylvania. While training, he also participated in Antibody-Targeted Photodynamic Therapy research. To date, Dr. Mayo has done over 40 articles, publications, scientific exhibits and oral presentations. A final move to California landed Dr. Mayo in Orange County where he started Mayo Retina in 2008 to pursue his dream of private practice.
What is a Retinologist? A retinologist is a specialized ophthalmologist with advanced training who focuses on conditions affecting the light sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinal vascular occlusions.
FDA-authorized treatment to improve vision in age-related macular degeneration
We are now in our second year of treating patients with dry age-related macular degeneration with the Valeda Light Delivery System--the pioneering FDA-authorized therapy designed to enhance visual acuity in individuals afflicted with dry AMD. In this video, the first patient to receive commercial treatment in California eloquently recounts his transformative journey following Photobiomodulation at Mayo Retina.
Valeda PBM Patient Testimonial
Tại Mayo Retina, chúng tôi tự hào đánh dấu năm thứ hai tiên phong trong việc chăm sóc bệnh nhân mắc thoái hóa điểm vàng thể khô (AMD) bằng Hệ thống truyền ánh sáng Valeda - một cải tiến đầu tiên được FDA cấp phép, được chế tạo tỉ mỉ để nâng cao thị lực cho những người bị ảnh hưởng bởi tình trạng này.
As a retina specialist, I’ve been closely following Neuralink’s development of Blindsight — their innovative visual prosthesis that uses a brain-computer interface (the N1 implant) to directly stimulate the visual cortex. By bypassing damaged eyes or optic nerves entirely, patients wear camera-equipped glasses that capture the visual scene and wirelessly transmit processed data to the implant, creating the perception of vision. On September 17, 2024, Neuralink received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for Blindsight. This designation accelerates the path forward for individuals with severe vision loss, including those blind from birth (provided the visual cortex remains intact). Promising long-term results in non-human primates have already been reported, with human implants targeted for 2026. While early versions will likely offer lower-resolution vision, the potential to restore functional sight is truly transformative. If you or someone you know has significant vision impairment and may be interested in future clinical trials for visual prosthesis, I encourage you to join Neuralink’s Patient Registry (now open worldwide): https://portal.neuralink.com/ This could be life-changing for many patients.
We love our patients, especially those dealing with conditions like macular degeneration. Feel free to visit us during normal business hours to consult with our experienced Mayo ophthalmologist about innovative treatments, including photobiomodulation for your retina health. Don't forget to ask about the Valeda system during your visit!
