General Practitioners

• Cryotherapy
  Cryotherapy involves the application of a very cold probe to the outside of the eye, which, because of the thin nature of the eye wall (sclera), transmits the freezing temperature to the retina.
• Medical Weight Loss
  Temporal arteritis: A rare, life-threatening condition that can cause interruption in vision of one or both eyes that is a result of inflammation of the medium-sized blood vessels through out the body. This condition is often associated with other systemic symptoms, such as headache, scalp tenderness, jaw pain, muscle pain, fever, weight loss, and fatigue, and may require a biopsy of the artery in order to confirm the diagnosis and start treatment.
• Primary Care
  • You may discontinue your use of Patient Portal at anytime by sending a secure message to your primary care provider’s office requesting this change.
• Emergency Care
  • YOU MUST NOT SEND ANY MESSAGES REQUIRING URGENT ATTENTION USING PATIENT PORTAL. Doing so may create a delay in your receiving necessary medical treatment and could result in loss of life, permanent injury, or significant deterioration in your health. If you believe that you have an urgent medical matter, you should call 911 immediately or proceed to the nearest emergency room. If the matter is not urgent but you need a response in less than two business days, please contact your clinician’s office directly by telephone during our regular business hours, which you may find on the log-in screen for Patient Portal.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a disorder characterized by blockage of venous blood flow from the retina. The site of the obstruction in a CRVO is usually that portion of the retinal vein that passes through the optic nerve (“central” retinal vein). Similar to a BRVO, the obstruction leads to congestion of the retinal tissue, leading to macular edema and secondary loss of vision. CRVO can be associated with patients who have ocular hypertension or glaucoma.
• Ophthalmology
  NJRetina is pleased to offer a 2-year medical and surgical retina training program in collaboration with the Rutgers Medical School Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. The fellowship is accredited by the Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology (AUPO). Applications for the fellowship are accepted through SFMatch.org. One fellow is selected every two years.
• Macular Degeneration
  At NJRetina, we are visionary experts in retinal care. NJ Retina Physicians are not only leaders in their field nationally, they are recognized locally for their expertise in diagnosing and treating a comprehensive range of medical and surgical retinal disorders, including diabetic eye disease, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), epiretinal membranes, macular hole, and retinal detachment to name a few of the most common. Whether you are having new symptoms and have found us through a friend or neighbor, or were referred to our practice by your local eye doctor, a consultation with a NJ Retina physician will help establish a diagnosis and treatment plan that could help you regain your sight or in some cases -- prevent you from losing it.
• Cataracts
  Like a laser, the intense cold stimulation to the retina can seal abnormal leaky retinal blood vessels or seal retinal tears. This technique is often preferable to laser in treatment of certain conditions in the far periphery (corners) of the retina, especially when problems such as vitreous hemorrhage or cataract obscure the passage of light into the eye, limiting the effectiveness of laser.
• Cataract Surgery
  Cystoid macular edema (CME) refers to swelling of the central retina (macula), which is usually secondary to abnormally leaky retinal blood vessels. CME can occur following cataract surgery, from inflammation or from retinal vascular disorders such as retinal vein occlusion. CME produces blurring of the central vision and/or metamorphopsia (distortion). Fluorescein angiography is frequently used in the evaluation of macular edema. Many eye disorders can cause macular edema, but diabetes and recent cataract surgery are most common.
• Eye Exam
  Typically, a patient’s first appointment takes at least 2 hours and includes a complete eye examination. During the exam, we will use eye drops to dilate your eyes, causing temporary blurred vision, so it is necessary for someone to drive you home after your appointment.

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  This randomized, double-masked, vehicle controlled, phase 2 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of OTT166 ophthalmic solution in participants with diabetic retinopathy and select an optimum dosing regimen for Phase 3 pivotal trials. Approximately 210 participants diagnosed with moderately severe to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) or mild proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and who are treatment naïve (ie, no prior anti-vascular endothelial growth factor [anti-VEGF] or laser [focal, grid, pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP)] administered) and participants who do not have center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME) will be randomized into the following groups...

Dermatologists

• Skin Cancer
  Although relatively rare, various types of tumors can occur within the eye. Examples of intraocular tumors are choroidal nevus, choroidal melanoma, hemangioma, osteoma, melanocytoma, and retinoblastoma. There are a wide spectrum of treatment options for tumors depending on whether it is benign or malignant.
