What Is A Retina Specialist?
A retina specialist is a highly skilled physician and surgeon who treats people with retinal disease or injury improve their vision and preserve their eyes. We’re committed to helping you see for a lifetime.
Our Huntington Beach retinal specialist is a highly educated physical who studied ophthalmology as a whole and delved into the diseases and injuries unique to the vitreous body of the eye and the retina. Also referred to as vitreoretinal medicine, this medical specialty is a subset of ophthalmology.
The Retina And How Our Specialists Treat Retinal Disorders
The retina’s role in vision is crucial. It’s a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye responsible for focusing images from light transmitted through the iris. These images are converted to electrical impulses that travel along the optic nerve to the brain to be translated into sight.
Retinal specialists diagnose and treat retinal diseases and injuries in adults and children. Our doctors employ leading-edge technology and sophisticated instruments to assess the condition of the retina properly. Patients come to see us after an eye injury or trauma, as well as those who have degenerative vision conditions like age-related macular degeneration, cancers of the eye that cause retinal detachment, and hereditary eye diseases.
Our Huntington Beach retinal specialist treats diseases and conditions including:
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Macular hole/pucker
- Retinal detachment
We start your personalized care plan with an office visit to evaluate your complete medical history, medications, and instances of eye trauma. Then, we dilate your eyes so we can take a close-up look at the back of your eye or eyes to assess the nature of the problem. We may perform other specialized tests in our safe, sterile treatment clinic to track the performance and movement of the eye. In some cases, we may also perform eye injections.
Because your pupils will be dilated and will stay that way for several hours, we recommend having someone else drive you home after your initial diagnostic appointment.
