Services

Macular Hole Surgery

The macula is the part of your retina responsible for your clearest vision, and a hole in this tissue can cause blurriness or a blank spot at the center of your sight. Advanced vitrectomy techniques can repair macular holes and help you regain the visual clarity you depend on for daily life. 

Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration causes gradual breakdown of the macula, leading to blurred or lost central vision over time. We offer thorough retinal evaluations and proven treatments, including injection therapy for wet AMD, designed to slow disease progression and maintain your quality of life. 

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes affects blood vessels throughout the body, including those in the retina. Specialized care for diabetic retinopathy is available here, from routine surveillance and laser treatment to surgical intervention, helping you maintain your vision for the long term. 

Central Retinal Artery Occlusion

CRAO causes sudden, painless vision loss and is a serious warning sign of systemic vascular disease. Urgent evaluation and management of central retinal artery occlusion are available here, with care focused on both your vision and the broader health implications of this condition. 

Retinal Detachment

Retinal detachment is one of the most urgent conditions in ophthalmology. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent, irreversible vision loss. We offer same-day evaluation and surgical treatment for retinal detachment, giving patients in St. Charles County fast access to the subspecialty care they need. 

Floaters & Flashes

Floaters and flashes are among the most common reasons patients seek retinal care. While many cases are benign, they can occasionally signal a retinal tear or early detachment that requires urgent attention. We provide timely evaluations to give patients peace of mind and catch serious problems early. 

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

Branch retinal vein occlusion results from a blockage in part of the retinal venous system, leading to leakage and swelling within the macula. We provide comprehensive care for BRVO, with treatment plans tailored to each patient’s degree of vision loss and underlying health profile. 

Retinal Tears

When the vitreous pulls away from the retina, it can sometimes tear the delicate retinal tissue. We take retinal tears seriously and act quickly, offering laser treatment to surround the tear with a protective barrier that prevents it from progressing to a more serious retinal detachment.
