  Our Services

​

  Diagnostic Imaging and Testing:

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): High-resolution imaging to view cross-sections of the retina, helping to diagnose conditions and monitor treatment outcomes.

Fluorescein Angiography: A diagnostic procedure that uses a special dye to illuminate blood vessels in the retina, aiding in the diagnosis of retinal conditions.

B-scan Ultrasonography: Used for visualizing the retina and vitreous when the view is obstructed by conditions such as cataracts or hemorrhage.

 

  Medical Treatments:

Intravitreal Injections: Administration of medications directly into the vitreous near the retina to treat various retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

Laser Photocoagulation: A laser treatment used to seal or destroy leaking blood vessels in the retina, often used in diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions.

 

  Surgical Procedures:

Vitrectomy: Removal of the vitreous gel to treat retina conditions such as retinal detachment, macular holes, and complications of diabetic retinopathy.

Scleral Buckling: A surgical method to repair retinal detachments by indenting the wall of the eye.

Membrane Peeling: Delicate surgery to remove epiretinal membranes that can distort vision.

 

  Treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD):

Anti-VEGF Therapy: Used to slow the progression of wet AMD, this treatment involves the injection of a drug that inhibits the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the retina.
