Biography
Peter A. Karth, MD, MBA, FASRS, FACS, is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained vitreoretinal physician and surgeon. He leads Retina Care, a physician-led, retina-only practice with nine clinics in Eugene, Salem, Roseburg, Cottage Grove, Florence, North Bend, Coquille and Bandon, Oregon. Retina Care serves patients from Salem and the Willamette Valley to Roseburg, Coos Bay and the southern Oregon coast.
Dr. Karth treats the full range of medical and surgical retinal disease. Much of his practice is long-term care for wet and dry age-related macular degeneration, including geographic atrophy; diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema; and retinal vein occlusions. He was the first physician on the Oregon coast to inject an FDA-approved geographic atrophy medication, and he is the only retina surgeon operating on the Oregon coast. His surgical focus is minimally invasive, small-incision, sutureless vitreoretinal surgery for macular holes and epiretinal membranes. He has also pioneered and popularized approaches to treating symptomatic vitreous opacities (floaters).
Dr. Karth completed a two-year medical and surgical vitreoretinal fellowship at Stanford University. He then joined the Stanford clinical faculty as an Assistant Clinical Professor and served as an Adjunct Assistant Clinical Professor at the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He earned his medical degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago while concurrently completing an MBA at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
He has contributed to peer-reviewed and popular ophthalmic publications and has presented research at national and international meetings. He has consulted for technology companies including Google, Verily and Apple, and for ophthalmology and retina organizations. His interests include medical device and drug innovation, digital health and artificial intelligence in health care.
Retina Care operates as a carbon-neutral practice. Appointments: (541) 873-8462. Referral fax: (541) 873-8464. Websites: retinacareoregon.com and peterkarthmd.org
