We approach your potential treatments conservatively, carefully weighing benefit against risk within your comfort level. Treatments from improved risk control, to topical use of drops, to various laser techniques, to office injections, to operating room microsurgery may be suggested as appropriate. We frequently recommend slowly escalating treatments, such that less invasive measures are employed first, for your safety.
Our impressive diagnostic and therapeutic resources include:
Using these methods, we are able to diagnose and treat retinal disorders across the spectrum. Our diagnostics include subclinical detection of decline, to protect you before major vision loss manifests.
You will benefit from our inclusive approach to retinal eye care which addresses both retinal and systemic (full body) illness and risks. By tracking microscopic progress visit to visit, we are able to adjust your treatment regimen over time to improve vision and reduce your risk of vision loss as you age. We have successfully treated thousands of Patients from New Orleans and across the Gulf South.
The Retina Institute offers Patients expert care and a comprehensive array of technologies. We are proud to have introduced OCT Angiography to the state of Louisiana. The field of Retina is leading medicine in the development of new treatment modalities that provide new hope in difficult to manage disorders.
Gulf South residents of Louisiana and Mississippi suffer high numbers of diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, hypertensive retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusions, macular holes, epiretinal membranes (macular pucker or cellophane maculopathy), and retinal detachments. With a strong ethic of Patient-centered care, The Retina Institute has become the Premier New Orleans Medical and Micro-Surgical Retinal Eye Care Center.

C.C.
The fact that Dr. Ebrahim and staff are genuinely concerned, anytime you call after hours they call you back and if you need to come in they are not hesitant to do so. My husband and I called quite a bit when he first had his surgery and not one time were we neglected. Very professional and caring about the vision of their patients. If you need to see a specialist I am recommending The Retina Institute you only have one set of eyes so don't procrastinate on your vision.
G.S.
I was very pleased with the professionalism demonstrated by all of the staff. Dr Ebrahim explained my condition to my wife and I in a manner which we never have experience before with other doctors. I have started taking the supplements he suggested and look forward to my follow up visit in May.

I came in for a second opinion on my left eye. Was truly impressed with Dr. Ebrahim and all the staff. Dr. Ebrahim was caring and professional, and his way of explaining my conditions were thorough and very understandable. My wife, who is a nurse of many years, was also very impressed with Dr. Ebrahim and his concern for the total well being of me as the patient. We are not switching physicians at this time, one big reason is your location. I live in Mandeville and I hate driving the causeway! BUT - if I ever do chose to change retinal specialists, it will be to Dr. Ebrahim and The Retina Institute. We will recommend your office to anyone in need of your services. Thanks for your caring and concern.

Future breakthroughs likely will allow our native organic retinal cells to be rescued from degenerative disorders such as macular degeneration. Research is showing this to be possible. The field of Retina is leading medicine in the development of new treatment modalities that provide new hope to difficult to manage disorders.
The Argus II, an artificial retinal prosthesis has helped some regain minimal vision with the use of large external equipment. Artificial photoreceptors may not require this external component. Both modalities offer extremely limited visual improvement.
Visible on exam and advanced imaging technologies are signs that correlate with and may even predict your cardiovascular risk. Scientists are applying artificial intelligence to retinal imaging to discover and reduce these risks.
