Dilating Eye Drops
Dilation is necessary to properly visualize the retina on exam.
Neovascular Macular Degeneration
10 to 15% of macular degeneration cases manifest this "wet" form. This form is more aggressive and, although once blinding, it is now highly treatable.
Macular Edema
Macular edema simply is swelling in the retina, and may occur from diabetes, high blood pressure, vascular strokes of the retina, and even sleep apnea.
Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy is the most severe form. It is preventable with early care, and, with treatment compliance, is treatable once it does manifest. Untreated this disorder may lead to blindness or loss of the eye.
Laser Photocoagulation for Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
This is just one of dozens of different lasers used in eye care. Not to be confused with LASIK, which is one of several other laser treatments.
Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Diabetic Retinopathy
Vitrectomy is the most common type of operating room retinal micro-surgery. Diabetes is just one of the many disorders for which it may be performed.
Epiretinal Membrane
Epi-retinal Membrane (ERM) is also known as Epi-macular Membrane, Macular Pucker, and Cellophane Maculopathy.
Laser Photocoagulation for Retinal Tear
This is a commonly performed office procedure to prevent progression to retinal detachment.
Pneumatic Retinopexy for Retinal Detachment
An air bubble is injected into the eye to support the tear and detached retina.
Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Retinal Detachment
Vitrectomy is operating room micro-surgery used in this case to drain subretinal fluid, flatten, then laser-weld the retina.
Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO)
Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) is a common retinal stroke, and is largely treatable.
Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO)
Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO) is a more severe form of retinal stroke. Depending on the subtype, patients can still enjoy a reasonable prognosis.
Macular Hole
A macular hole is a defect at the absolute most important central area of the retina. Vitrectomy with micro-surgical membrane peel is the main treatment.
