- 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.​
âš 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.
