Macular degeneration typically results from the aging process. It occurs due to damage to the macula, the central area of the retina responsible for clarity of vision when viewing detailed objects near and far. Damage to the macula often impedes vision without affecting peripheral vision. Age-related macular degeneration affects patients in two different ways. The most common is Dry AMD, which causes central vision loss due to macular aging.

The second type is Wet AMD which results when blood vessels abnormally grow beneath the retina, causing quick vision loss. Those suffering from either one of these types of macular degeneration can undergo a treatment plan to slow vision loss and preserve sight.

BRVO is a condition in which one of the retinal vein branches experiences a blockage, also known as branch retinal vein occlusion. When this occurs, the vein cannot function normally and blood no longer circulates, which leads to swelling, vision changes, and other negative symptoms. Without treatment, the patient may experience total vision loss.

If you suffer from this condition, we can design a treatment plan to target the blockage, increase blood circulation, and improve vision with the appropriate treatment protocol. Patients with BRVO will have the option of either injectable or laser treatments to resolve the condition. At your consultation, we can give you more details about each treatment method after evaluating the severity of your condition and recommending the best course of action.

Floaters are vision spots that take on various forms. For some, they appear as specks; for others, they may look like lights or webs that rapidly dissipate when you focus on them. The most common cause of floaters is the natural aging process, resulting in collagen fibers forming on the retina and causing shadows that appear as floaters.

Patients experiencing eye floaters can undergo a treatment plan to address the primary cause of this condition, which could include bleeding, a retina tear, inflammation, or simply the natural aging process. A thorough evaluation will determine the cause of these floaters so that we can design a treatment plan to lessen their occurrence and treat the primary cause.

Retinal detachment is a serious condition in which the retina detaches from the eye, and if left untreated, the result is permanent vision loss. Some of the most common symptoms of this condition include changes in vision, an increase or emergence of regular floaters and light flashes in the affected eye, changes in peripheral vision, or a shadow in your general line of vision.

If you think you may be suffering from retina detachment, it’s imperative that you seek medical care as soon as possible to undergo treatment to prevent serious or permanent vision loss. During your consultation, we will evaluate your eye and then move forward with the right treatment plan to repair the issue quickly to restore your vision and retina health.

In some cases, a surgical treatment plan may be necessary for those with specific retina issues. We offer surgical options for those who can’t find relief from their condition with less invasive options. Retina detachment is one of the most common conditions affecting the retina that requires surgical intervention.

Once we evaluate your retina issues, we can determine the best plan of action, and if surgery is necessary, thoroughly prepare you for the entire process so that you know exactly what to expect and can move with the treatment process with full confidence in our team of experts.
