Eye Diseases & Treatments
Retinal vein occlusion. Macular degeneration. Vitreal hemorrhage. We’re making advances on surgeries and solutions for these and other disorders every day.
Medical science is constantly evolving. Today’s breakthrough is tomorrow’s routine treatment. The doctors of New England Retina Associates are always searching for better, more precise tools to treat or cure injuries and diseases. We carefully study new research, and conduct clinical trials to see how we can best use these innovations to our patients’ advantage. Some of the techniques that we currently use are not yet widely available, making them truly cutting-edge procedures.
Diagnostic Testing
The doctors at New England Retina Associates are constantly evaluating the latest diagnostic tests to offer the best possible care for their patients.
- This imaging technology captures a wider view of the retina, allowing for a more comprehensive assessment of its condition and identifying potential issues beyond the central area.
- These tests use a special dye and advanced imaging to examine blood vessels in the eye, helping to detect any abnormalities or damage.
- By analyzing your genes, this test helps identify any genetic factors that may contribute to eye conditions or diseases.
- Using light waves, this non-invasive test captures detailed images of blood vessels in the retina, helping to assess their health and detect any irregularities.
- This imaging technique uses sound waves to create pictures of the structures within the eye, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of various eye conditions.
- By using light waves, this imaging method provides cross-sectional images of the retina, helping to evaluate its thickness and detect any abnormalities.
- Similar to fluorescein angiography, this test uses a different dye to examine blood vessels in the deeper layers of the eye, providing a more comprehensive evaluation.
