Retinal disease management
Service Description
The retina is like the film of a camera, a thin but complex layer in the back of the eye that receives the focused images from the lenses in front. Eye diseases that cause changes, defects or complications with your retina can include age-related macular degeneration, torn or detached retinas and glaucoma. Typically unless a patient is showing symptoms, most patients are screened for retinal eye diseases at the age of 40. When a retina exam is done, the ophthalmologist will focus mainly on the back portion of the eye. The doctor will look through your pupil to see inside the back of your eye. During a retina exam, patients will more than likely have their eyes dilated so the doctor can get a clear view of the retina, and other structures relating to it. Additional tests may be prescribed based on the need in that particular case, such as; Fundus photography Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) Optical coherence tomography (OCT) Ultrasonography (B-scan) Visual field (Perimetry) After retina evaluations and testing are completed, the ophthalmologist will review any findings and discuss with you the best treatment for your condition(s).
