Retina Specialists
Diagnose and treat retina problems to prevent vision loss.
Most eye diseases are completely asymptomatic (show no noticeable symptoms) in their early stages when they are most easily treated (including glaucoma and retinopathies). Early detection, therefore, is an important part of eye care. It is imperative that patients, especially those at increased risk, receive routine screening by medical and surgical specialists trained in dealing with these disorders.
More patients trust their eyes to our retina surgeons for their retinal surgery needs than to any other practice in the state.
Macular Degeneration
As we age, the macula can begin to deteriorate and affect our vision. The macula itself is located at the center of the retina and is responsible for detailed vision. Age-related macular degeneration can be categorized as Wet or Dry Macular Degeneration. This classifies both the type and how best to treat the disease.
Diabetic Retinopathy
The retina has small blood vessels that can be damaged by chronically high blood sugar levels or high blood pressure. Diabetic Retinopathy occurs when these vessels start to leak, or hemorrhage, distorting one’s vision. Often, the abnormal blood vessels that develop in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) can create traction (VMT) on the delicate retinal surface. Vitrectomy surgery is often required for traction and retinal detachments associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Retinal Vein Occlusion
Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) is an eye condition caused by blocked veins carrying blood from the retina. It can affect different types of veins with varying severity. Risk factors include age, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Symptoms include blurry vision, floaters, pain, and redness in one eye. Early detection through regular eye exams is crucial. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and managing underlying health conditions can reduce RVO risk.

If symptoms of retinal diseases are making you uncomfortable and interfering with your daily life, call us. Our doctors have the expertise and tools to give you the relief you need.
Our team of retina surgeons uses the best imaging system in the world for retinal and macular diseases. Heidelberg high-definition imaging systems are available at most of our locations, allowing for superior imaging and diagnosis of disease processes related to macular degeneration, diabetes, macular pucker, and inflammatory conditions of the retina and choroid. High-resolution video imaging angiography and 3D macular images can resolve details in the retina as small as a few microns – smaller than the width of a single red blood cell.
