RETINA

We are trained to diagnose and care for patients with routine retinal problems, as well as situations that require more specialized care.

Retina Disease

Retinal diseases are some of the most serious eye conditions. The retina is actually a part of the central nervous system. Like the brain, the retina has a limited restorative capacity.

Many dramatic advances have been created over the last three decades for treating retinal diseases. Our Retina Specialists’ strive to stay at the cutting edge of both the art and science of treating retinal diseases. For patients to see the best results our specialists need eye doctors to catch the retina disease in the early stage so the surgeon can start an aggressive treatment; which is why yearly eye exams are so important.

It is important for our patients to understand that retinal diseases may still advance despite appropriate treatments. Even with the latest procedures, treatments, and methods performed there is no guarantee on their results. However, our surgeons are determined to provide the most advanced treatments and options possible for our patients to provide good results.
