- CONDITIONS WE TREAT
If something feels off with your vision, please don't wait.
Most retinal conditions are very treatable — especially when caught early. If you're not sure whether your symptoms need attention, call us. We'd rather hear from you than have you wonder.
⚠ THIS MAY BE URGENT
Sudden floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow across your vision can signal a retinal tear or detachment. Call us right away: 718.338.9800
RETINAL DISEASE
Macular Degeneration
The macula handles fine central vision — reading, faces, colors. AMD blurs or darkens that center. Dry AMD moves slowly; wet AMD can progress quickly. The earlier we know, the more we can do.
URGENT — CALL SAME DAY
Retinal Tears & Detachments
Sudden floaters, flashes, or a curtain closing in at the edge of your vision are warning signs. Time-sensitive — the sooner we see you, the better the outcome.
SYSTEMIC
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes damages small blood vessels in the back of the eye. It can progress silently for years. If you have diabetes, regular retinal exams are essential — not optional.
RETINAL DISEASE
Macular Pucker
Scar tissue over the macula causing blurry or wavy central vision. Very common, very treatable. We'll explain exactly what we find and what your options are.
RETINAL DISEASE
Macular Hole
A small gap in the center of the retina causing a blurry or missing spot. More common with age. Many patients do very well after treatment.
VASCULAR
Retinal Vein Occlusion
A blocked retinal vein causes fluid or bleeding that can affect vision — sometimes suddenly. Early treatment makes a real difference in outcomes.
MAY BE URGENT
Flashes & Floaters
New floaters by themselves are usually harmless. But when they arrive suddenly — especially with flashes — call us the same day.
INFLAMMATORY
Uveitis
Inflammation inside the eye causing pain, light sensitivity, blurry vision, and floaters. Getting the diagnosis right is everything — treatment depends entirely on knowing what's driving it.
