• Cryotherapy
  Pneumatic retinopexy is an in-office procedure that involves injection of an inert gas into the vitreous cavity. This procedure is selected for retinal breaks that are found in the superior retina. The retinal break is usually treated with cryotherapy, followed by injection of the inert gas to tamponade and close the retinal break. The gas bubble is slowly reabsorbed by the body and does not need to be removed by additional procedures.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Depending on the extent of the blockage, your vision may improve, worsen, or remain the same. Vein occlusions can occasionally be complicated by growth of abnormal blood vessels, which can result in bleeding into the vitreous jelly of the eye or a severe type of glaucoma called neovascular glaucoma. Careful follow up examinations may help allow early detection and treatment of these potential complications.

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  With time, the circulation to the kidneys, the peripheral nerves, the feet, the heart, and the eyes are especially affected. If you have numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation in the feet, it is likely that you are beginning to have what is referred to as peripheral neuropathy. This means there is damage to peripheral nerves from reduced blood supply. Often when a person has neuropathy, he or she may have diabetic retinopathy as well.
