Retina & Vitreous Services

Expert care for retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.

The retina plays a critical role in how you see, capturing light and sending visual signals to the brain. Conditions affecting the retina or vitreous can lead to permanent vision loss if not detected early and treated properly.

At PERC, our Retina & Vitreous Services focus on advanced diagnostics, preventive monitoring, and precise treatment for complex retinal disorders.

Who Is at Risk for Retinal Diseases?

You may be at higher risk if you have:

Diabetes
High blood pressure or cardiovascular disease
A family history of retinal conditions or macular degeneration
High myopia (very nearsighted)
Are 50 years old and above
Previous eye surgery or trauma

With a team of board-certified ophthalmologists, PERC delivers world-class retinal care, offering comprehensive services that go beyond what most eye centers in the country can provide.

We use cutting-edge technology to ensure accurate assessment and optimal outcomes, including:

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): This non-invasive test uses light waves to capture high-definition, cross-sectional images of the retina's layers. It is excellent for detecting swelling or tissue damage.
Fluorescein Angiography: A special dye is injected into a vein in your arm. A camera then takes pictures as the dye flows through the retinal blood vessels, highlighting any blockages or leaks.
Fundus Photography: Digital photographs are taken of the back of the eye to document its appearance. These images can be stored and compared over time to track disease progression.
Ultrasound: If bleeding prevents a clear view of the retina, an ultrasound may be used to visualize the internal structures of the eye.

Frequently Asked Questions

What symptoms should alert me to a retinal problem?

Watch for sudden vision changes such as flashes of light, dark floating spots, distorted vision, or a curtain-like shadow over your vision. These require immediate eye care.

If I have diabetes, how often should I have my retina checked?

Patients with diabetes should have a retinal exam at least once a year. More frequent visits may be needed depending on disease severity.

Is retinal damage reversible?

Some conditions can be treated to prevent further vision loss, but permanent damage may not be reversible. Early diagnosis is the key to protecting eyesight.

How are retinal diseases treated?

Depending on the condition, options include laser treatment, intravitreal injections, or surgical procedures. Our team of board-certified ophthalmologists and retina specialists will guide you through every step of diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management, ensuring your vision receives the highest level of protection.
