Retina

About Retina

The retina is the multi-layered tissue lining the back of the eye. This part of the eye captures light rays and converts them into images. When the delicate retinal tissue becomes damaged because of injury or disease, the eye loses its ability to convert light into images, which may significantly reduce vision.

Most often early detection and treatment may prevent vision loss and preserve eye health. Our dedicated retina specialists are experienced in early diagnosis and effective treatment of a range of retinal diseases including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachment. Schedule a consultation and receive a complete evaluation of your eye health, as well as expert advice on the most appropriate treatment.

Macular Degeneration

Our vision is made possible through the interactive parts of a highly complex visual system. The retina, a light sensitive area in the back of the eye, is part of that system.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetes. It affects blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of your eye).

Retinal Tear / Detachment

A torn retina is a severe eye problem that can cause your vision to become blurry. It often leads to a more serious condition called a Detached Retina.

Epiretinal Membrane

An epiretinal membrane is a thin layer of scar tissue that develops on the surface of the retina. These membranes, which often develop after a vitreous separation related to aging, are common and often do not cause any problems.

Cataracts

Cataracts occur when there is a clouding of your eye’s natural lens. Most people correlate cataracts with aging, but they are sometimes proven to be derived from other factors.

Cornea

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped part of the eye and plays a significant role in the focus and clarity of vision.

Glaucoma

The optic nerve carries information from the eye to the brain, so when the optic nerve is impaired, you can lose your vision. The term Glaucoma encompasses a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve.

Neurological Eye Conditions

Our providers diagnose and treat conditions related to the nervous system of the eye.

Oculoplastics

Oculoplastics refers to surgical procedures designed to improve the function and appearance of the eyelids, skin and muscle tissue surrounding the eye, forehead, and face. 

Pediatrics

A child’s first 10 years of life are the most crucial for the development of their visual system. Due to the rapid vision development taking place during childhood, it is very important to detect and treat any vision problems as early as possible.
