About Us

We are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for diseases of the retina using state-of-the-art equipment. Should you have any questions, please feel free to discuss any aspect of your eye care with us.


Many diseases of the retina and vitreous may lead to visual loss. Retinal problems may be associated with nearsightedness, injury, diabetes, and aging. In some patients, holes or tears in the retina may occur and lead to retinal detachment. Other common retinal problems include diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, macular holes, retinal vascular disease, and macular pucker. Treatment for diseases of the retina and vitreous may include drops or pills, laser or freezing operations in the office, injections, or more extensive surgery in the hospial operating room. Tremendous advances in the past decade now allow successful treatment of many retinal diseases previously thought untreatable.
