Conditions and procedures.
A complete medical and surgical retina practice. Below are the conditions we most frequently evaluate and the procedures we most commonly perform. Additional conditions we evaluate are listed below as well. For home monitoring, anatomy, and outside resources, see our education center.
Conditions
01
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Wet and dry AMD. Anti-VEGF therapy. Valeda photobiomodulation for dry AMD.

02
Diabetic Retinopathy & Macular Edema
From early non-proliferative disease through advanced proliferative retinopathy. Treatment of diabetic macular edema.
READ →
03
Retinal Detachment & Tears
Urgent evaluation. Vitrectomy, scleral buckle, laser, and pneumatic retinopexy.
READ →
04
Retinal Vein Occlusion
Branch and central vein occlusion. Treatment of associated macular edema and neovascular complications.
READ →
07
Epiretinal Membrane
Microsurgical membrane peeling for vision-affecting epiretinal membrane.
READ →
08
Uveitis & Ocular Inflammation
Workup and management of intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis. Co-management with rheumatology when indicated.
READ →
Also Treated
01
Choroidal Melanoma & Nevus
Evaluation of pigmented lesions inside the eye, serial imaging, and referral for ocular oncology treatment.
READ →
02
Cystoid Macular Edema
Fluid pockets in the central retina from surgery, inflammation, or vascular disease. Usually treatable.
READ →
03
Flashes, Floaters & PVD
New floaters or flashing lights. Prompt dilated examination to rule out a retinal tear.
READ →
04
Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
Sudden painless vision loss from reduced blood flow to the optic nerve. Urgent evaluation for giant cell arteritis.
READ →
05
Lattice Degeneration
Thinning of the peripheral retina. Monitoring, and laser treatment in selected higher-risk cases.
READ →
06
Ocular Histoplasmosis Syndrome
Chorioretinal scars that can develop new blood vessels. Treated with anti-VEGF injections when they do.
READ →
07
Retinal Artery Occlusion
Sudden painless vision loss from a blocked retinal artery. An eye emergency and a stroke warning sign.
READ →
08
Retinitis Pigmentosa
Inherited degeneration of the photoreceptors. Diagnosis, genetic evaluation, and management of complications.
READ →
09
Retinopathy of Prematurity
Abnormal retinal vessel growth in premature infants. Screening and treatment in the NICU at Crouse Hospital.
READ →
10
Vitreomacular Traction Syndrome
The vitreous gel pulling on the center of the retina. Observation, or vitrectomy when vision is affected.
READ →
In-office Procedures
01
Intravitreal Injections
Anti-VEGF, intravitreal steroid, and antibiotic delivery. Performed in-office.
READ →
02
Laser Retinopexy
In-office laser treatment to seal retinal tears and prevent retinal detachment.
READ →
03
Panretinal Photocoagulation
Scatter laser treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy and ischemic retinal vein occlusion.
READ →
04
Photodynamic Therapy
Light-activated medication for central serous chorioretinopathy and selected cases of wet AMD.
