RETINA
Retina services focus on diagnosing, managing, and treating delicate tissues at the back of the eye. Highly trained retina specialists handle conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and macular holes.
These services are broadly broken down into two core areas:
Advanced Diagnostics
- To get a precise look at the retina, specialists utilize sophisticated non-invasive imaging technologies:
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the retinal layers.
- Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA): Uses a contrast dye to document blood flow and detect leaking blood vessels.
- Ultra-Widefield Imaging (e.g., Optos): Captures high-definition views of the entire retina to screen for early tears or damage
Treatment & Surgery
When a condition is detected, treatment can range from in-office procedures to complex surgeries:
- Intravitreal Injections: Medication injected directly into the eye to stop abnormal blood vessel growth or reduce swelling (e.g., Anti-VEGF agents).
- Retinal Laser Therapy: Uses focused light beams to seal leaking blood vessels, reduce swelling, or repair small retinal tears.
- Vitrectomy: A surgical procedure where the gel-like vitreous fluid is removed from the eye to treat retinal detachments, severe diabetic eye disease, or remove scar tissue.
