Retina
Diseases
hen retina diseases develop, they can significantly impact your vision and quality of life. At Retina Consultants, our board-certified vitreoretinal surgeons specialize in diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of retina conditions, from common issues like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration to complex surgical cases requiring advanced intervention.
Macular
Degeneration
A leading cause of central vision loss, AMD damages the macula and makes reading and recognizing faces difficult.
Learn moreMacular
Edema
Fluid buildup in the macula causes swelling that distorts central vision and may result from diabetes or vein blockages.

Macular
Hole
A break in the macula that creates blurred and distorted central vision, often requiring surgical repair.

Macular
Pucker
Scar tissue forms on the macula, pulling on the retina and creating wavy or fuzzy vision.
Learn moreCentral Serous
Retinopathy
Fluid leaks under the retina, often linked to stress, producing a blurry or gray spot in central vision.

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion
A blocked side vein in the retina reduces blood flow and leads to sudden blurred
vision.
Central Retinal Vein Occlusion
The main retinal vein becomes obstructed, causing painless vision loss and macular swelling.
Retinal Artery
Occlusion
BRAO & CRAO also called an “eye stroke” where blood flow is cut off, producing sudden, severe vision loss.
Diabetic Retinopathy
High blood sugar damages retinal blood vessels, threatening sight without regular monitoring and care.
Degenerative Myopia
Severe nearsightedness stretches the eye, thinning the retina and increasing risk of tears or detachment.
Retinal
Tear/Detachment
The retina pulls away from the back of the eye, requiring urgent treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.

(Flashes and Floaters)
Natural aging of the eye’s gel can cause floaters and flashes, sometimes leading to a retinal tear.

Complications of Cataract
Surgery
Rare complications may affect the retina, including swelling, detachment, or infection needing urgent care.

Penetrating Ocular
Trauma
Eye injuries from sharp objects can damage the retina and demand immediate surgical evaluation.
Learn moreCytomegalovirus (CMV) Retinal Infection
A viral infection that can destroy retinal tissue, often affecting those with weakened immune systems.
Uveitis and Infectious Retinitis:
Inflammation or infection inside the eye that causes redness, pain, and vision-threatening complications.
Intraocular
Tumors
Abnormal growths inside the eye may be benign or malignant, requiring careful monitoring and treatment.
Inherited Retinal
Disorders
Genetic conditions like retinitis pigmentosa gradually damage retinal cells and lead to vision loss.
Pediatric and Neonatal Retinal Disorders
Eye diseases in infants and children, such as ROP, need early detection to
protect sight.
