Advanced Retina Treatments
Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Injections
Anti-VEGF therapy is an injection-based treatment that targets abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage inside the eye. It has become the standard of care for many vascular retinal diseases.
The medication blocks vascular endothelial growth factor, a protein that triggers the formation of weak, leaky vessels. By reducing this signal, the injections limit swelling and prevent further damage to the macula.
Patients receive these injections for several common retinal problems.
- Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Diabetic macular edema
- Retinal vein occlusion
- Other vascular retinal disorders
Most people notice stabilized or improved vision when injections are given on a regular schedule. Treatments are performed in the office, cause minimal discomfort, and allow you to resume normal activities the same day.
Minimally Invasive Retinal Therapies
When major surgery is not required, we offer several gentle options that protect vision while allowing quick recovery.
Our team reviews diet, supplements, and daily habits that lower the risk of retinal diseases, including guidance specific to age-related macular degeneration.
Beyond Anti-VEGF, other medicines can be delivered directly into the eye to calm inflammation, reduce swelling, or fight infection.
Low-energy lasers can seal tiny leaks or reduce fluid without harming healthy tissue, giving patients a convenient option with little to no downtime.
Laser and Cryotherapy Procedures
Advanced light and freezing technologies allow precise treatment of many retinal problems right in the office.
Focused laser spots seal leaking microaneurysms, lessen macular edema, and repair small retinal tears with pinpoint accuracy.
This broader laser pattern treats proliferative diabetic retinopathy by creating small burns in the peripheral retina, which slows abnormal vessel growth and lowers the risk of bleeding or detachment.
By delivering energy in very short pulses, this technique reduces swelling while sparing healthy tissue, making it a safe choice for diabetic macular edema.
Controlled freezing forms a firm bond between the retina and underlying tissue, helping close peripheral tears and treat certain tumors or vascular lesions.
Retinal Surgery
When non-surgical care is not enough, our fellowship-trained surgeon performs advanced procedures that aim to restore or preserve sight.
A microsurgical removal of the vitreous gel allows repair of macular holes, clearing of hemorrhage, or reattachment of the retina using small instruments and a fluid-air exchange.
This procedure removes cloudy vitreous and tractional tissue to treat hemorrhage, epiretinal membranes, and related disorders, often combined with membrane peeling or gas tamponade.
An external band gently indents the eye wall, closing retinal breaks and helping the retina lie flat again, which remains an effective option for certain detachment patterns.
Your Vision Is Our Priority
Our goal is to deliver the safest and most effective retinal care so you can maintain clear, comfortable sight. We are committed to guiding you through every step of treatment, answering questions, and supporting your long-term eye health.
