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.
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.
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.
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.
