OUR SPECIALTIES

Uveitis is a form of eye inflammation. It affects the middle layer of tissue in the eye wall (uvea).

Uveitis (u-vee-I-tis) warning signs often come on suddenly and get worse quickly. They include eye redness, pain and blurred vision.

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes, caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the back of the eye (retina). It can cause blindness if left undiagnosed and untreated.

Retinal vein occlusion happens when a blood clot blocks the vein. Sometimes it happens because the veins of the eye are too narrow. It is more likely to occur in people with diabetes, and possibly high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, or other health problems that affect blood flow.

A macular hole is a small break in the macula, located in the center of the eye’s light-sensitive tissue called the retina. The macula provides the sharp, central vision we need for reading, driving, and seeing fine detail.

An epiretinal membrane is a thin sheet of fibrous tissue that can develop on the surface of the macular area of the retina and cause a disturbance in vision. An epiretinal membrane is also sometimes called a macular pucker, macular fibrosis, surface wrinkling retinopathy or cellophane maculopathy.

Endophthalmitis is a purulent inflammation of the intraocular fluids (vitreous and aqueous) usually due to infection.

Serious intraocular inflammatory disorder resulting from infection of the vitreous cavity

Progressive vitritis is the hallmark of any form of endophthalmitis

Histologically: massive infiltration of the vitreous cavity with inflammatory cells

Retinal detachment describes an emergency situation in which a thin layer of tissue (the retina) at the back of the eye pulls away from its normal position.

Retinal detachment separates the retinal cells from the layer of blood vessels that provides oxygen and nourishment. The longer retinal detachment goes untreated, the greater your risk of permanent vision loss in the affected eye.

Management of posteriorly dislocated crystalline lens has traditionally been performed with a standard 20-gauge vitrectomy system. The latest surgical platforms integrate multiple devices into single systems and feature advanced fluidics, vitreous cutting technology, and intraocular pressure control along with continued improvements in small-gauge instrumentation and wide-angle viewing systems.
