“I am very happy with the members of this group. From the moment I walk in for my appointment until I leave, I am treated with warmth and respect by each and every member of the group and enjoy a clear understanding of what is going on with my vision and what I need to do if further treatment is required. What a great group!” - Mary
The vitreous is a clear gel that fills the middle of the eye. As people get older, the vitreous may pull away from its attachment to the retina at the back of the eye.
Sometimes, the vitreous pulls hard enough to tear the retina. A retinal detachment occurs when the retina is pulled away from its normal position. If you are experiencing signs of retinal detachment, we will perform a medical eye examination in our office.

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the pancreas does not secrete enough insulin or the body is unable to process it properly. Insulin is the hormone that regulates the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Diabetes can affect children and adults.
Diabetic patients require routine eye examinations so related eye problems can be detected and treated as early as possible. Most diabetic patients are frequently examined by an internist or endocrinologist who in turn work closely with the ophthalmologist.
The appearance of floaters may be alarming, especially if they develop very suddenly. The vitreous, a clear gel-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye, may start to thicken or shrink, forming clumps or strands inside the eye when people reach middle age. The vitreous gel pulls away from the back wall of the eye, causing a posterior vitreous detachment. This is a common cause of floaters.
When the vitreous gel rubs or pulls on the retina, you may see what look like flashing lights or lightening streaks. You may have experienced this same sensation if you have ever been hit in the eye and seen “stars.” If you notice the sudden appearance of light flashes, you should contact your retina specialist immediately in case the retina has been torn.
A retinal vein occlusion means that a vein in the retina of the eye has become blocked. Blockage, or occlusion, in the vein prevents adequate blood flow in the affected area. The walls of the vein leak blood and excess fluid into the retina. Central and branch retinal veins are sometimes associated with high blood pressure and diabetes.
A non-invasive test called optical coherence tomography (OCT) is available at Retina Care Specialists which may help us to better evaluate how much swelling there is as a result of the branch vein occlusion.
The leading cause of blindness in those 60 and older, macular degeneration blurs the sharp, central vision and affects the part of the eye needed to see fine detail. Macular degeneration affects both distance and close vision, and can make some activities – like threading a needle or reading – difficult or impossible. Many people do not realize that they have a macular problem until blurred vision becomes obvious. Your ophthalmologist can detect early stages of macular degeneration during an eye examination.
learn moreThe macula is the central part of the retina and is responsible for detailed vision such as reading. A macular hole is an abnormal opening in the center of the macula, and it can lead to loss of central vision.
Macular holes can be detected with a dilated examination of the eyes by your ophthalmologist. As retinal specialists, we have tests designed to diagnose the problem and determine how much it is contributing to your visual complaint. Fluorescein angiography can assess the health of the macula. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a state of the art, non-invasive test done in the office which can demonstrate the macula and any associated hole with great precision.
Retina Care Specialists guide patients through their visit, which includes a thorough eye exam, dilation, and possible same-day diagnostics or treatment. Initial visits may take up to three hours, while follow-ups are shorter. Patients should bring medical history, medications, and insurance details. Many procedures are done in-office, with surgeries at a nearby center.
