The retina is the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye that allows us to see. Because the retina plays a critical role in vision, retinal diseases can have a significant impact on sight if not detected and treated promptly.
At Wiles Eye Care, we provide comprehensive retinal evaluations, advanced imaging, and ongoing management of many retinal conditions to help protect and preserve vision.
Retinal disease often develops without obvious symptoms in its early stages. A thorough retinal examination may include:
Dilated retinal examination
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Digital retinal photography
Widefield retinal imaging
Evaluation of symptoms such as flashes, floaters, distortion, or vision loss
These advanced diagnostic tools allow us to identify retinal disease early and monitor changes over time.
We diagnose and monitor a variety of retinal conditions, including:
Age-related macular degeneration
Diabetic retinopathy
Retinal tears and retinal holes
Posterior vitreous detachment
Epiretinal membrane
Retinal vein occlusions
Macular edema
Other retinal and macular disorders
New flashes of light, a sudden increase in floaters, a curtain-like shadow, or sudden vision loss may indicate a serious retinal problem requiring prompt evaluation.
We encourage patients experiencing these symptoms to contact our office as soon as possible for assessment.
Some retinal conditions require treatment by a retinal specialist. When advanced care is needed, we work closely with trusted specialists to coordinate timely referrals and ongoing monitoring.
Early detection remains one of the most important factors in preventing vision loss from retinal disease. Through comprehensive examinations, advanced imaging technology, and personalized care, Wiles Eye Care is committed to helping patients maintain healthy vision for years to come.
