Retina Care
Age-related macular degeneration (the leading cause of blindness
in older Americans), diabetic retinopathy (the leading cause
of blindness in people under 50 years of age), detached retinas,
and other vascular abnormalities of the retina and choroid
are treated and managed through the Retina and Vitreous Service
(for more complete list see below). Retina diseases are diagnosed
and managed in a new, state-of-the-art facility that includes
digital fundus photography and fluorescein angiography, optical
coherence tomography (OCT), and indocyanine green angiography
(ICG) to image retinal disease. Specialized tests including
Ganzfeld electroretinography (ERG) and multifocal ERG are available.
Together with laser treatment, photodynamic therapy (PDT),
anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections for AMD,
and retina surgery, we offer comprehensive care for adults and
children.
