Combined Experience
Across Chicagoland
Trained Surgeons
Retina-Only Expertise
Focused exclusively on vitreoretinal disease.
Advanced In-Office Diagnostics
OCT, angiography, ultrasound, and imaging performed without delay.
Medical & Surgical Retina Care
From injections and laser treatment to complex retinal surgery.
Comprehensive Retinal Disease Care
We deliver full-spectrum retinal care, combining early diagnosis with modern surgical and non-surgical treatments designed for each patient’s condition.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects central vision and can progress without early symptoms. Prompt evaluation and ongoing retinal management are essential to preserving sight.
Early Detection & Monitoring
Advanced in-office OCT imaging allows for precise diagnosis and careful tracking of macular changes.
Targeted Treatment Options
From intravitreal injections to laser therapy, treatment is tailored to slow progression and protect remaining vision.

Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of vision loss in adults. Regular retinal evaluation is critical for patients with diabetes.
Comprehensive Retinal Evaluation
Detailed examination and imaging detect early vascular changes before vision is significantly affected.
Medical & Laser Treatment
Injections and laser therapy help reduce swelling, prevent complications, and stabilize vision.

Retinal Tears & Detachment
Flashes, floaters, or a shadow in your vision may indicate a retinal tear or detachment — conditions that require urgent evaluation.
Immediate Specialist Assessment
Same-day evaluation when indicated to prevent progression and protect sight.
Advanced Surgical Expertise
Fellowship-trained vitreoretinal surgeons provide medical and surgical repair when necessary.

Retinal Vein & Artery Occlusions
Blocked retinal blood vessels can lead to sudden vision changes and require specialized care.
Precision Diagnostic Imaging
Fluorescein angiography and OCT identify vascular compromise and macular edema.
Coordinated Treatment Plan
Targeted injections and close monitoring to reduce complications and preserve vision.

Macular Hole & Epiretinal Membrane
Distorted or blurred central vision may be caused by structural changes in the macula.
Detailed Structural Imaging
High-resolution OCT imaging confirms diagnosis and guides treatment planning.
Surgical & Medical Management
When necessary, vitreoretinal surgery restores anatomical structure and improves visual outcomes.

Eye Floaters
Eye floaters can appear as spots, strings, or shadows drifting across your vision. While often harmless, new or sudden floaters may signal a retinal tear or detachment and should be evaluated promptly by a retina specialist.
Prompt Retina Evaluation
A detailed dilated exam and in-office imaging help determine whether floaters are benign or related to a retinal problem.
Retinal Tear Detection
Our retina-only specialists check for tears, bleeding, or detachment risk — with laser or surgical care available when needed.
