For after-hour eye emergencies, please visit your local ER or Urgent Care Center, or dial 911.

Surgical Interventions

When medical and office‑based procedures are insufficient, our minimally invasive surgeries restore retinal anatomy and function. Utilizing small‑gauge instrumentation and advanced techniques, we address vitreous hemorrhage, detachments, and macular pathology with rapid recovery times. These interventions are performed in our state‑of‑the‑art surgical suites by fellowship‑trained retina surgeons.

Microsurgical removal of the vitreous gel to repair macular holes, clear hemorrhage, or reattach the retina, using small‑gauge instruments and fluid‑air exchange.

Learn more about Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV).

Removal of vitreous opacities and tractional membranes to treat hemorrhage, epiretinal membranes, and other vitreoretinal disorders, often combined with membrane peeling or tamponade.

Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Injections: Standard of Care for Retinal Vascular Disease

Anti-VEGF therapy is a highly effective, injection-based treatment that targets abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage in the retina. It’s commonly used to manage conditions like wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema, and retinal vein occlusion. By slowing disease progression and stabilizing vision, these injections have become a key part of long-term care for many patients with chronic retinal conditions.

Minimally Invasive Retinal Therapies with Lasting Impact

Minimally invasive retinal therapies include laser, cryotherapy, and non-surgical strategies that help stabilize vision without the need for major procedures. From sealing leaky vessels and repairing retinal tears to lowering the risk of macular degeneration progression through lifestyle and nutritional changes, these treatments are often performed in-office with little downtime. Whether targeting specific areas or managing retinal disease long-term, they complement injections and surgery to support lasting eye health.

Retinal Laser

Focal, grid, or micropulse laser is applied to seal microaneurysms, reduce macular edema, and repair tears with pinpoint accuracy.

Learn more about Retinal Laser.

Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP)

Scatter‑laser treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy ablates peripheral ischemic retina to decrease VEGF production and prevent neovascular complications.

Learn more about Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP).

Cryotherapy

Controlled freezing therapy creates a permanent chorioretinal adhesion to treat peripheral tears, certain tumors, and vascular lesions, often as an adjunct to laser or surgical repair.

Learn more about Cryotherapy.

Lowering AMD Risk

Evidence‑based nutritional supplements, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications—such as smoking cessation—can slow the progression of early macular degeneration.
