Our doctors offer caring treatment for a range of eye conditions, including:
A diabetes-related complication that impacts retinal blood vessels. We provide early detection and advanced treatments to help prevent vision loss.
A major cause of vision loss in individuals over 50. We offer thorough care and the most advanced treatments for managing both dry and wet types.
A critical condition is where the retina detaches from the underlying tissue. Our specialists focus on quick diagnosis and surgical repair.
Conditions such as retinal vein and artery occlusion can affect vision. We provide specialized care and advanced treatments to help restore vision.
Genetic disorders can impact the retina and cause vision loss. Our clinic offers advanced diagnostics and treatments to address these issues.
We handle macular pucker, cystoid macular edema, and macular holes. Our specialists employ advanced techniques to enhance visual results.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
