Our Services
Macular Degeneration
Known as ARMD, Macular Degeneration can cause painless loss of the central vision as we age. There are two main types of Macular Degeneration (Dry and Wet), and you may qualify for treatment depending on the nature/severity of your condition.
Diabetic Eye Disease
Diabetes can cause severe vision loss in several different ways. Leakage from damaged blood vessels can cause swelling in the central vision known as Diabetic Macular Edema. Damaged blood vessels can also impair blood flow (ischemia) to sensitive retinal cells. Bleeding in the eye (vitreous hemorrhage) can occur due to the body's attempt to repair damage by growth of new, harmful blood vessels (neovascularization).
Retinal Detachment
A retinal detachment is the separation of the retinal tissue in the back of the eye away from its blood supply. There are several different types including those caused by diabetes, systemic conditions, and trauma. Treatment options include pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling, vitrectomy, and adjunctive laser treatment.
We also evaluate and treat vein occlusion, retinal tear, vitreous hemorrhage, epiretinal membrane, macular hole, and complications of cataract surgery.
