General Practitioners

• Cryotherapy
  Cryotherapy treatment freezes a torn or detached area of the retina in order to keep it in place, and is used for areas a laser cannot access. Performed in the office, the doctor will apply anesthetic drops, then use a headlight and lens to guide the cryo device to repair the tear. Often between multiple spots are frozen to seal the tear. Prior to treatment, the doctor will thoroughly explain your condition, the procedure, and post-operative expectations.

Ophthalmologists

• Ophthalmology
  Our doctors are board certified, having undergone extensive training in ophthalmology (diseases and surgery of the eye), followed by highly-specialized training in the field of vitreoretinal surgery. They are
• Macular Degeneration
  PDT is a painless procedure that combines drug and laser treatment to control abnormal blood vessels in ‘wet’ macular degeneration and certain cases of central serous retinopathy (CSR). During treatment, the doctor will inject a drug called Visudyne into a vein in your arm. After a short time, normal blood flow takes it into the affected vessels in the eye. When the doctor aims the non-thermal laser, or “cold” laser, into the eye, the light activates the drug to shrink the abnormal vessels, decreasing the risk of leaking or bleeding that can damage vision.
• Cataracts
  Ultrasound is an examination technique that allows us to evaluate the retina and vitreous in eyes that have cataracts, hemorrhages or scar tissue. Sound waves reflected from the inside of the eye are displayed on a screen for interpretation by the doctor. The examination is painless and requires no anesthesia.
• Eye Exam
  Lasers are used in the office to treat many different retinal diseases. Laser light can be precisely focused as the doctor directs the beam of light into the eye. For treatment, the patient is seated at a slit lamp, same as during an eye exam. Lasers may be used to treat diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, macular edema, retinal tears, retinal detachment. For each condition, the laser is used in different ways with different expectations. Prior to treatment, the doctor will explain in detail your condition, treatment goals, the procedure, and any after-affects.

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetes. It affects blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of your eye). In some people with diabetic retinopathy, blood vessels may swell and leak fluid. In other people, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. A healthy retina is necessary for good vision.
