- Primary CareUsing angiography (see above), we can evaluate the circulation of your retina in our offices as well as calculate the thickness of your retina using ocular coherence tomography. If you have an artery occlusion, there are limited treatment options. However, since this would mean you have an embolism or thrombosis in your arterial system, we would work closely with your primary care physician to find the source in order to prevent other clots from forming elsewhere in your body.
- Family PracticeAll vision. Whether vision problems arise from localized eye disorders or manifestations of systemic diseases, like diabetes and hypertension, the retina is affected. Discovering where and how the retina is being affected by disease is essential to making an accurate diagnosis, which in turn influences the creation of an effective treatment plan. At Retina Consultants, we will conduct a thorough examination of your eyes, using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, your eye and physical health history and your family health history, to diagnose your vision problem(s). Based on this, we will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle. Some of the diagnostic tests that we conduct in our office are...
- GlaucomaThis test, which measures the eye’s complete span of peripheral vision while focused on a central point, detects the loss of peripheral vision and provides a map of that loss, which helps diagnose the cause. A brain tumor; stroke in the brain; vascular diseases in the eye (such as retinal vein/artery occlusion) and optic nerve damage (due to glaucoma), retina damage (caused by detachment) and macular degeneration are some of the diseases that may be detected with the visual field test.
- OphthalmologyDue to novel Coronavirus, Retina Consultants is actively monitoring information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Academy of Ophthalmology, as well as updates from local officials regarding the spread of COVID-19.
- Macular DegenerationWatch this video that describes the most common form of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). AMD is a leading cause of central vision loss and is one of the many diseases we diagnose and treat at Retina Consultants
- Laser Eye SurgeryEndophthalmitis is an infection that occurs inside the eye. The infection typically involves multiple eye structures, from the cornea in the front of the eye to the retina in the back. Endophthalmitis is incredibly rare. If it occurs, it is usually after ocular trauma, eye surgery, intravitreal injections, or severe systemic infection.
- CataractsOcular ultrasound imaging is useful when the view into the eye is obstructed by cataract, hemorrhage or other opacities. It is also useful in the diagnosis of ocular tumors.

- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetes is a systemic disease involving the blood sugar. It occurs when too much sugar travels through the blood stream and damages blood vessel walls. Diabetes can affect a person’s eyes in many ways. The basic types of diabetic retinopathy are...

- LesionsLattice degeneration is a common peripheral retinal degeneration that affects approximately 6–8% of the general population. Since it is peripheral, it does not affect the central vision. The retina, which is composed of multiple layers, becomes thinner in areas of lattice degeneration. There are often round holes and color changes associated with these lesions. The vitreous gel that fills the eye can be very adherent to lattice degeneration; this causes an increased risk of developing a retinal detachment. In fact, people with lattice degeneration are about 10 times more likely to get a retinal detachment than the general public and so should be monitored regularly by their eye specialist. Therefore, knowing the symptoms of retinal detachment is vital.
