For referring providers.

Optometrists and ophthalmologists across Central New York, the North Country, and the Southern Tier have referred to RVS for decades. Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your patients. Since 1972, we have worked alongside physicians across our region to treat complex vitreoretinal disease — and the relationships we've built with referring providers are something we genuinely value. We try to make those referrals work the way you'd want them to: prompt evaluation when the case calls for it, encounter notes back to your office in a timely way, and direct phone communication on complex or urgent cases.

01

Refer a patient

Send referrals by phone or by fax. For potentially urgent referrals — endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, retinal tear, or sudden vision loss — please call rather than rely on fax so we can arrange evaluation as quickly as possible.
