Services


Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retionpathy is a common condition that effects eyes of individuals with diabetes. Our experienced team uses advanced imaging techniques to screen for diabetic retinopathy. If not detected early, diabetic retionpathy can lead to vision loss or permanent blindness.



Cataract

Cataracts are a common condition that can cause cloudy vision and lead to vision loss if untreated. Our expert team provides screenings and referrals for treatment.

Incidental Eye Lesions

Because we use skilled human graders for our screenings, we can identify incidental lesions such as glaucoma, uveitis, ocular tumors, and other eye diseases. Early detection of these conditions is key to preventing vision loss.

Sickle Cell Retinopathy

Sickle cell retinopathy is a condition that affects the eyes of individuals with sickle cell disease. We offer specialized screening to detect and manage retinal changes associated with this condition. It can lead to permanent blindness if not detected early.



Retinopathy of Prematurity

Retinopathy of Prematurity is an eye condition affecting premature infants that can lead to vision loss or blindness if not treated early. Early screening and treatment is imperative.

Treatment

Physicians in our referral network have state of the art treatment, including Ophthalmic Lasers and intravitreal monoclonal antibodies (Bevacizumab).
