Since opening our practice in 1979, Central Florida Retina has been devoted to diagnosing and treating diseases of the retina, macula, and vitreous. Retina specialists are specialized eye doctors who treat only diseases of the retina. We are medical doctors that are board certified in Ophthalmology, a specialty of medicine/surgery that deals with the diseases of the eye and the surrounding tissues. Because of the many different aspects necessary for the proper function of the eye, ophthalmology has been divided into a number of subspecialties.

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

Report

Veins are responsible for returning blood to the heart. Smaller venules ultimately drain to the central retinal vein which carries blood from the eye. These smaller venules share a connective tissue sheath with arterioles. Arterial hypertrophy (enlargement) may occur due to hypertension (high blood pressure) or other medical conditions and compress these venules.

Epiretinal Membrane

Report

The retina is a light-sensitive tissue that lines the inside of the back of the eye. Your central vision is a small portion of the retina called the macula. When a small piece of scar tissue forms on the surface of the inner portion of the retina it is known as an epiretinal membrane (ERM). These can also be referred to as macular pucker or cellophane maculopathy.
