Most Common Conditions We Treat

null

Macular Hole

The macula is the central area of the retina and is responsible for your 20/20 vision.  When there is a disruption in the layers of the retina from traction or force, a blind spot will develop in the center of the vision.  This can cause significant visual loss.Read More »

Retinal Vein Occlusion

The retina vasculature is made up of small arteries and veins.  However, when the venous flow is interrupted, it may lead to poor perfusion, vascular leakage, and macular edema.Read More »

Retinal Tear

When the vitreous pulls on the retina, a retinal tear may be produced.  Symptoms of flashes and floaters may develop.  There is a need to see a retinal specialist urgently, as a detailed exam may allow for early in-office procedure and avoiding surgery.Read More »

Macular Edema

Macular edema may happen for a variety of reasons including diabetes, recent cataract surgery, vascular occlusions, and even medications.  There are many treatments that may help to improve the swelling and improve vision.Read More »

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

This disease is commonly seen in people over 60. It is classified as “wet” or “dry”. It typically causes blurred or reduced central vision.  In “dry” AMD, there are nutritional supplements that help to slow dry AMD down and many experimental medications that are on the horizon that may be promising.  In “wet” AMD, injections are used to help slow down the progression and in some cases improve vision.Read More »

Macular Pucker

A macular pucker is tissue that has formed on the surface of the retina, the film of the eye.  It will typically cause patients to see distortion, and may progress over months to years.Read More »

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes mellitus.  It affects the small vessels of the retina, and can cause them to leak, affect their blood flow, and even burst.  This can cause varying amounts of visual loss.  It is the most common cause of blindness in the working population.Read More »

Retinal Detachment

Retinal detachment is when the retina separates from the inner wall of the eye.  People will notice that part of their vision in one of their eyes is missing.  An urgent retinal evaluation is necessary to diagnose a retinal detachment.Read More »
