Macular Degeneration
We specialize in diagnosing and managing age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Our comprehensive approach includes advanced diagnostic testing like OCT scans and fluorescein angiography to assess disease progression. We offer personalized treatment plans using the latest therapies to preserve central vision and slow disease progression.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Our specialists provide comprehensive care for diabetic retinopathy through regular eye exams and advanced treatment options. We utilize state-of-the-art imaging technology to detect early changes in retinal blood vessels. Our personalized treatment plans may include laser therapy, injections, or surgical interventions to prevent vision loss in diabetic patients.
Retinal Detachment
We offer urgent evaluation and treatment for retinal detachment and tears, using advanced diagnostic tools to assess retinal integrity. Our specialists perform precise laser treatments and surgical interventions to reattach the retina. We emphasize patient education about warning signs to ensure timely intervention for optimal visual outcomes.
Optical Coherence Tomography
Our practice utilizes cutting-edge optical coherence tomography for high-resolution imaging of retinal structures. This non-invasive diagnostic tool helps detect and monitor conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. The detailed cross-sectional images guide treatment decisions and track disease progression over time.
Fluorescein Angiography
We perform fluorescein angiography to evaluate retinal blood flow and detect abnormal vessels. This diagnostic procedure involves injecting a fluorescent dye to capture detailed images of the retinal vasculature. It helps diagnose conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and other vascular abnormalities for targeted treatment planning.
