Services
Your initial visit to our practice will include a comprehensive examination and evaluation of your retina. First, you will meet with an experienced ophthalmic technician who will take a detailed medical history, perform visual screening tests and administer drops that dilate the iris. The dilation process takes approximately 30 minutes, depending on the color of your eyes.
Thus, we have developed easy-to-understand educational materials on many retinal conditions. This material is meant to be helpful, offering general information that patients can use to prepare for their visit with their physician and to formulate questions to ask during their visit. This library is not meant to be an exhaustive list of retinal conditions/solutions or to replace the assessment of a professional.
Using state-of-the-art equipment and the latest surgical techniques, we can treat many retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, some tumors, retinal tears and select retinal detachments from the comfort of our office. Other surgical procedures require specialized equipment available only in a hospital operating room.
