North Carolina Retina Associates is a retina-only ophthalmology practice founded in 1997 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. The practice specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of disorders involving the retina, macula and vitreous, and identifies itself as the largest retina practice in the state. In August 2021, the practice affiliated with Retina Consultants of America (RCA), a physician management services organization, marking RCA’s first entry into the North Carolina market. [1] [2]
Design and History
The practice’s visual identity centers on the “NC Retina” wordmark, which appears on its official website and branded materials. The logo combines the practice’s acronym with a stylized mark. The organization’s website does not publish documentation about the logo’s designer, the date of its introduction, or any redesign history.
North Carolina Retina Associates has operated under its current name since its founding in 1997. The practice’s affiliation with Retina Consultants of America in 2021 did not result in a documented change to its name or visual identity; the practice continues to present itself as North Carolina Retina Associates and uses the NC Retina branding on its website.

Meaning and Symbolism
The practice’s website and its parent organization’s materials describe the practice’s clinical focus and patient care philosophy but do not explain the visual elements of the mark.
Typography and Design
The logo appears in a single-color treatment on the practice’s website, though the organization has not published official brand guidelines, color specifications, or typography documentation. The practice’s website displays the NC Retina name prominently across its pages, including its locations and physician directories. [3]
