Procedures We Perform
Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery involves the use of focused light beams to treat a variety of retinal conditions. These procedures are designed to either seal retinal tears, reduce abnormal blood vessels, or improve the overall health of your retina. At the Center for Retina and Macular Disease, our specialists utilize state-of-the-art laser technologies to provide precise and effective treatment, helping you achieve the best possible outcomes.
Vitreo Retinal Surgery
Vitreoretinal surgery is a type of eye surgery that involves delicate procedures on the retina and vitreous. These procedures are often necessary to treat conditions that are affecting vision, such as diabetic eye disease, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, a macular hole, and more. Our experienced surgeons at the Center for Retina and Macular Disease utilize advanced techniques to address various retina diseases, helping to restore and preserve your vision.
Intravitreal Injections
If you’re struggling with eye conditions that affect your vision, intravitreal injections might be the solution you need. This straightforward procedure delivers medication directly into the eye to tackle problems like age-related macular degeneration, where the central part of your retina deteriorates over time, and diabetic macular edema, a condition where swelling occurs in the macula due to diabetes.
By targeting the root of the issue, our intravitreal injections can help improve and preserve your vision.
