  • Retinal Detachment: Time Critical Eye Emergency
    A detachment of the retinal can be a very serious and time critical emergency. A detached retina occurs when the retina pulls away from the supporting choroid (middle tissue) in the back of the eye, usually resulting from a hole in the retina that allows fluid to leak between the choroid and the retina.

    Since the retina cannot function properly under these conditions, permanent vision loss may occur if a detached retina is not repaired within 24 to 72 hours.
  • Healthy Vision and Disease Prevention
    Often seniors assume that poor eyesight is a natural part of growing old. By age 65, it is estimated that 1-in-3 Americans have some form of vision impairing eye disease. By detecting and treating eye disease early through annual, dilated eye exams, seniors can preserve their sight.
  • Macular Degeneration: Quietly robbing vision
    Macular degeneration is an age-related condition predominately found in elderly adults and often is not discovered until excessive vision lost occurred.

    The center (the macula) of the inner lining of the eye (the retina) begins to suffer thinning, atrophy, and sometimes bleeding. The result can lead to central vision loss and is the leading cause of impaired low vision in the United States.
