Services

Macular Hole Surgery

A macular hole develops when the vitreous gel inside the eye pulls away from the macula, creating a gap that blurs or distorts central vision. Vitrectomy is a minimally invasive procedure with a strong track record of restoring functional sight, and it is available to patients at this location. 

Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration affects the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision, making everyday tasks like reading and driving increasingly difficult. We offer up-to-date treatments for AMD, including anti-VEGF therapy for wet AMD and personalized monitoring plans for dry AMD. 

Diabetic Retinopathy

For people living with diabetes, regular retinal exams are essential because diabetic retinopathy often progresses without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred. We offer expert evaluation and timely treatment to help patients with diabetes protect their long-term vision. 

Central Retinal Artery Occlusion

Central retinal artery occlusion is often described as a stroke of the eye. It causes abrupt vision loss and requires immediate attention from a retinal specialist. We provide rapid evaluation for CRAO and work closely with patients to manage the condition and reduce the risk of future vascular events. 

Retinal Detachment

Retinal detachment can cause permanent blindness if not treated quickly. If you experience a sudden curtain of darkness, new floaters, or flashing lights, contact us right away. We are experienced in all surgical methods for retinal detachment repair, including pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle, and vitrectomy. 

Floaters & Flashes

A sudden onset of new floaters or flashing lights should never be ignored. We perform comprehensive dilated eye exams to determine whether your symptoms are benign or indicate an underlying retinal condition that requires treatment. Early evaluation is the key to preventing vision-threatening complications. 

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

When a branch of the retinal vein is blocked, fluid and blood can leak into the retina, leading to decreased or distorted vision. Expert evaluation and individualized treatment for BRVO are available here, helping patients regain as much visual function as possible through proven medical and laser-based therapies. 

Retinal Tears

A retinal tear is often preceded by symptoms like new floaters or flashes of light. Prompt treatment is essential because a tear that goes unaddressed can lead to retinal detachment and permanent vision loss. We provide urgent evaluation and same-week laser treatment to seal retinal tears before they become emergencies.
