Retina specialist: If 'retinopathy' is the diagnosis then a retina specialist is who you need. Your doctors will refer you.

Retinal specialist: These are handled by retinal specialists (ophthalmologists who concentrate on the back of the eye). Your general ophthalmoolgist can recommend a good one for you. Occasionally the condition is sufficiently rare that you might need a referral to a major medical center with an expert dealing with rare disease.

Retinopathy: You should consult and eye md (ophthalmologist) if a retinal specialist is available he/she would be the best choice.
