About Retina san diego
Retina San Diego: The Premier Center for Retinal Care
Retina San Diego (RSD) is a leading center for retinal care in the county. With a team of highly skilled and experienced ophthalmologists, RSD provides comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and management of various retinal conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, macular pucker or hole, retinal artery occlusion, retinal vein occlusion and uveitis.
At RSD, we understand that vision is one of the most important senses that we possess. Our mission is to provide our patients with the highest quality care using state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure optimal outcomes. We are committed to providing personalized care tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Our team consists of board-certified ophthalmologists who specialize in treating diseases of the retina. They have undergone extensive training in their field and are dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in technology and treatments.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the central part of the retina (the macula) deteriorates over time. This can lead to blurred or distorted vision which can make it difficult to perform daily activities such as reading or driving.
At RSD, we offer advanced diagnostic tools such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) which allows us to visualize changes in the retina at an early stage before symptoms occur. We also offer cutting-edge treatments such as anti-VEGF injections which have been shown to slow down or even reverse vision loss caused by macular degeneration.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects blood vessels in the retina. It can cause damage to these vessels leading to leakage or bleeding which can result in vision loss if left untreated.
At RSD, we work closely with our patients' primary care physicians to manage their diabetes and prevent the progression of diabetic retinopathy. We offer advanced treatments such as laser photocoagulation and intravitreal injections which can help to seal leaking blood vessels and prevent further damage.
Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment is a serious condition that occurs when the retina becomes separated from its underlying tissue. It can cause sudden vision loss which requires urgent medical attention.
At RSD, we offer emergency services for retinal detachment and use advanced surgical techniques such as vitrectomy and scleral buckling to repair the retina. Our team of experts works closely with each patient to ensure a successful outcome.
Macular Pucker or Hole
Macular pucker or hole is a condition that affects the macula causing it to wrinkle or develop a hole. This can lead to distorted vision which can make it difficult to perform daily activities.
At RSD, we offer advanced diagnostic tools such as OCT which allows us to visualize changes in the macula at an early stage before symptoms occur. We also offer cutting-edge treatments such as vitrectomy surgery which can remove scar tissue from the macula and improve vision.
Retinal Artery Occlusion
Retinal artery occlusion is a condition that occurs when there is blockage in one of the arteries supplying blood flow to the retina. This can cause sudden vision loss which requires urgent medical attention.
At RSD, we work closely with our patients' primary care physicians to manage risk factors for retinal artery occlusion such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. We also offer advanced treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy which has been shown to improve outcomes in some cases.
Retinal Vein Occlusion
Retinal vein occlusion is a condition that occurs when there is blockage in one of the veins draining blood from the retina. This can cause sudden vision loss which requires urgent medical attention.
At RSD, we work closely with our patients' primary care physicians to manage risk factors for retinal vein occlusion such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. We also offer advanced treatments such as intravitreal injections which can help to reduce swelling in the retina and improve vision.
Uveitis
Uveitis is a condition that affects the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. It can cause inflammation which can lead to vision loss if left untreated.
At RSD, we offer advanced diagnostic tools such as fluorescein angiography which allows us to visualize changes in blood vessels in the eye. We also offer cutting-edge treatments such as steroid injections and immunosuppressive therapy which can help to reduce inflammation and prevent further damage.
