Macular Hole Surgery

A macular hole is a break in the center of the retina that interferes with sharp, straight-ahead vision. Vitrectomy surgery can close the hole and help preserve or recover the vision you rely on, and our physicians are experienced in achieving strong outcomes for patients at every stage of this condition. 

Macular Degeneration

AMD affects millions of Americans and remains a primary cause of severe central vision loss. Using the latest diagnostic imaging and treatment options, we take a proactive approach to macular degeneration, working to slow disease progression and protect your sight for the long term. 

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy develops silently, often without warning signs until it reaches an advanced stage. We partner with patients and their primary care teams to monitor and treat diabetic eye disease, working to prevent vision loss at every stage of the condition. 

Central Retinal Artery Occlusion

A blocked central retinal artery cuts off oxygen to the entire retina and can result in permanent vision loss within hours. Our physicians are experienced in the urgent evaluation of CRAO, providing timely care and coordinating follow-up to reduce the risk of future vascular complications. 

Retinal Detachment

Retinal detachment is a true ocular emergency. Our surgical team is prepared to act quickly when detachment occurs, performing proven repair procedures to reattach the retina and give you the best possible chance of preserving your vision. 

Floaters & Flashes

Floaters and flashes are often associated with normal aging of the vitreous gel, but they can also be the first sign of a retinal problem. Detailed examinations are available to assess your symptoms and determine whether treatment is needed to protect your vision. 

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

Branch retinal vein occlusion is a leading cause of vision loss from retinal vascular disease. Our physicians are experienced in managing BRVO with a combination of intravitreal injections and laser treatment, helping patients achieve the best possible visual recovery. 

Retinal Tears

A retinal tear is a break in the retinal tissue that creates real risk of detachment. Our physicians are skilled in detecting and treating tears quickly and effectively, using office-based laser or freezing treatment to secure the retina and prevent further vision-threatening complications.
