Comprehensive Retina Care
TREATMENT
Injection Therapies
Anti-VEGF Injections
Cornerstone treatment for wet AMD, diabetic macular edema, and retinal vein occlusions. Anti-VEGF medications block abnormal vessel growth and reduce fluid leakage.
Anti-Inflammatory Medications
Used for uveitis and inflammatory retinal conditions, these medications reduce swelling and immune-related damage inside the eye, often alongside other therapies.
Anti-VEGF Medications
Avastin (Bevacizumab)
A widely used anti-VEGF medication used off-label for wet AMD, diabetic eye disease, and vein occlusions, with a long track record in retina care.
Lucentis (Ranibizumab)
FDA-approved anti-VEGF therapy for wet AMD, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusions, and myopic choroidal neovascularization.
Eylea HD (Aflibercept)
A high-dose aflibercept formulation that can extend treatment intervals for wet AMD and diabetic macular edema, reducing injection frequency for eligible patients.
Vabysmo (Faricimab)
A newer dual-pathway biologic that targets both VEGF-A and Ang-2, approved for wet AMD, diabetic macular edema, and retinal vein occlusion.
Izervay (Avacincaptad Pegol)
Complement inhibitor injection used to slow the progression of geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
Steroids & Implants
Steroid Injections
Used for inflammatory conditions, certain cases of macular edema, and uveitis. Steroids reduce inflammation and swelling inside the eye.
Iluvien Implant
A sustained-release intravitreal implant delivering low-dose steroid for up to 36 months for chronic diabetic macular edema.
Sustained-Release Implants
Long-acting intraocular implants deliver medication steadily over months, reducing injection frequency for chronic conditions.
Laser Treatments
Laser Treatment Overview
An overview of how retinal lasers seal tears, reduce swelling, or prevent vision loss from diabetic retinopathy and other conditions.
Focal Laser
Precise laser treatment of leaking microaneurysms in diabetic macular edema, reducing retinal swelling and stabilizing central vision.
Panretinal Photocoagulation
PRP treats large areas of the peripheral retina with scatter laser to reduce abnormal vessel growth in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Laser Photocoagulation
Thermal laser that seals blood vessels and retinal tissue, used for a variety of retinal vascular and tear-related conditions.
Micropulse Laser Therapy
A gentler laser approach that delivers short pulses to treat macular edema with less damage to surrounding retinal tissue.
Transscleral Diode Laser
A non-thermal diode laser applied through the sclera, used in specific retinal and glaucoma-related scenarios to modulate tissue without surface damage.
Laser Retinopexy
An in-office laser procedure that creates tiny scars around retinal tears or weak spots to prevent retinal detachment.
Endolaser
Intraocular laser delivered during vitrectomy surgery to treat retinal tears, detachments, or abnormal vessels from inside the eye.
Surgical Procedures
Vitrectomy
Vitreoretinal surgery that removes the eye's vitreous gel to treat detachments, bleeding, and membranes.
Pars Plana Vitrectomy
A microsurgical technique using tiny ports to remove vitreous, repair detachments, and treat macular holes or puckers.
Scleral Buckle
A small silicone band placed around the eye to support the retina and close retinal breaks from the outside.
Pneumatic Retinopexy
An office-based procedure where a gas bubble is injected into the eye to press the retina back into place for select retinal detachments.
Cryotherapy
A freezing treatment applied to the outer surface of the eye to seal retinal tears or treat peripheral retinal lesions when laser access is limited.
Other Therapies
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
Combines a light-activated medication with a gentle laser to treat select cases of central serous retinopathy, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and certain AMD presentations.
