About Our Continuous Care Program

Navigating a chronic eye condition can be overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. California Retina Consultants has teamed up with Lumata Health to offer comprehensive support for individuals with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and related conditions, in addition to the care provided by your retina specialist.

You’ll be assigned a Care Coach who will help you manage your eye condition and overall health. This support makes it easier for you to receive the right care at the right time, leading to better health outcomes.

Our Continuous Care Program doesn’t replace your current care, and we’ll remain your point of contact for any acute, emergent, or urgent needs. With support from Lumata Health and us, you can feel empowered in managing your eye health.

The Role of the Dedicated Care Coach

Your care coach is available to support you alongside your retina specialist by providing:

• Regular phone calls between office visits to check in on your vision and overall health

• Resources to help you manage your symptoms more effectively

• Assistance in finding prescriptions, vitamins, or other essential items for your vision health at the lowest cost

• Help with arranging transportation to your appointments, filling out paperwork, or refilling your prescriptions

• Support in understanding your doctor’s instructions and answering your questions
