Hello,
I am in Italy and need an advice. If you had your child with a macular hole due to a thrauma, and have to go to the best specialists in US to have him operated, where would you bring him?
Thank you so much, it's crucial for us to know the right places-names.

For many reasons I cannot offer specific names of surgeons, but will gladly forward member suggestions to this poor soul.  You can read my reply to this comment on my blog: vitrectomy.blogspot.com

I'm sure there are many excellent surgeons in Italy that are well qualified to handle the situation. However, if the parents insist on traveling to the U.S. they can search for a board certified vitreo-retinal specialist by visiting www.aao.org. Also, Dr. Hagan posted on the site a list of "Best" eye-care providers a while back, the post is titled "Who Gives the Best Eye Care in the World" just search the site the post should turn up. Hope this helps.

On a side note, you've got an interesting blog, I look forward to reading your thoughts on the upcoming convention.
