Featured Service
Macular Degeneration
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is caused by hardening of the arteries that nourish the retina. This deprives the sensitive retinal tissue of oxygen and nutrients that it needs to function and thrive. As a result, the central vision deteriorates.
It is the most common cause of vision loss in the United States in those 50 or older, and its prevalence increases with age.

Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy results from damage to blood vessels in the retina. Individuals with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes may develop it.
Retinal Detachment
After retinal detachment, if the retina is not properly reattached, it will die and complete, permanent vision loss occurs.
Macular Hole
If the retina develops a complete hole, a black “missing” spot is seen everywhere the eye looks.
Macular Pucker
If the retina develops a wrinkle on its surface, it can blur and distort the center of vision.
Retinal Artery Occlusion
Artery occlusion causes permanent vision loss. By decreasing the oxygen supply to the retina.
