I live in California and see a retinal specialist here for WMD. I would imagine that, wherever you get your shots normally, your regular specialist might be able to suggest someone reputable in the Florida area. Alternately, you could ask your regular doctor how you could research this, perhaps through physician organizations. Originally, it was my optometrist who recommended the amazing opthalmalogist I've been seeing for a couple of years. Best of luck to you.
