Frequently Asked Questions
What services does the Center for Retina & Macular Disease offer?
Our retina specialists specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of retina and macular disease. We provide comprehensive eye exams, advanced imaging, laser treatments, injections, and surgical interventions.
What are retina and macular diseases?
Retina and macular disease refer to a group of conditions that affect the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) and the macula (the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision). Common diseases include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and macular holes.
How can I schedule an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment by calling our clinic directly, filling out an online appointment request form on our website, or by visiting us in person. Our staff will assist you in finding a convenient time for your visit.
Do I need a referral from my primary care doctor or optometrist?
While a referral is not always necessary, it can be helpful. Some insurance plans may require a referral for specialist visits. Please check with your insurance provider and let us know if you need assistance with this process.
What should I expect during my first visit?
During your first visit, you will undergo a comprehensive eye examination, which may include visual acuity tests, dilation, and advanced imaging of your retina and macula. Our specialists will review your medical history and discuss any symptoms you are experiencing to develop an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
How long will my appointment take?
The duration of your appointment can vary depending on the complexity of your condition and the tests required. Typically, a comprehensive eye exam and consultation can take between 1 to 2 hours.
What treatment options are available for macular degeneration?
Treatment options for macular degeneration depend on the type and severity of the condition. They may include lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, anti-VEGF injections, laser therapy, or photodynamic therapy. Our specialists will recommend the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.
Are the treatments painful?
Most of our treatments and procedures are designed to be as comfortable as possible. For example, injections are typically performed with numbing eye drops to minimize discomfort. Our team will explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have to ensure you feel at ease.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept a wide range of insurance plans. Please contact our office with your insurance information, and our staff will verify your coverage and benefits before your appointment. We also offer flexible payment options for patients without insurance.
How can I manage my condition at home?
Managing retina and macular disease often involves a combination of medical treatments and lifestyle changes. We provide educational resources and support to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle, monitor your vision, and recognize any changes that may require immediate attention.
What should I do in case of an emergency?
If you experience sudden vision loss, flashes of light, or a significant increase in floaters, please contact our clinic immediately or visit the nearest emergency room. Prompt medical attention is crucial for preserving your vision in cases of retinal emergencies.
