Procedures
Comprehensive Retina Consultants provides advanced diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of retinal conditions. Using state of the art imaging technology and proven medical and surgical techniques, our team delivers precise care tailored to each patient’s needs. From routine retinal evaluations to complex disease management, we are committed to protecting and preserving vision through expert, patient focused care.
ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY
Electrophysiological (EP) testing of the retina/macula is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that measures the electrical activity of the eye.
Autofluorescence Imaging
Quantitative autofluorescence imaging is a technique to determine the interaction between the nourishing cells and the visual cells of the retina.
OCT
A B-scan is an advanced eye diagnostic test where ultrasound technology is used to capture and display detailed images of the internal eye structures.
Fluorescein Angiography/ICG
A dye is injected into a patient’s bloodstream during fluorescein angiography, illuminating vessels in the back of the eye to highlight any problems.
Fundus Photography
Dr. Kaushal uses fundus photography to attain clear, detailed images of the retina so that a quick diagnosis can be made and prompt treatment given.
B-Scan
A B-scan is an advanced eye diagnostic test where ultrasound technology is used to capture and display detailed images of the internal eye structures.
EYLEA®
EYLEA® is an injectable anti-VEGF drug used to treat age-related wet macular degeneration by preventing the growth of abnormal blood vessels.
OZURDEX®
We can now treat retinal vein occlusion, uveitis, and diabetic macular edema with OZURDEX®, an injectable implant procedure performed by Dr. Kaushal.
Kenalog®
As a steroid medication injected into the eye, Kenalog is used to treat diabetic macular edema, cystoid macular edema, and macular degeneration.
Avastin®
Avastin® is a prescription drug that is injected into the eye to treat blurred vision and vision loss from age-related macular degeneration.
Lucentis®
Lucentis® is an injectable drug commonly used to treat various eye conditions including age-related wet macular degeneration and macular edema.
Nutritional Biochemistry
Nutritional biochemistry is research and science that links certain retinal conditions to the nutrition, diet, and health of an individual.
Scleral Buckle Surgery
Scleral buckle surgery is used to repair breaks or holes in the retina and retinal detachment, by reattaching the sclera and flattening the retina.
Shunts
Tube-shunt surgery involves placing pliable, plastic tubes into the eye to help drain fluid in order to treat eye diseases such as glaucoma.
Vitrectomy
A vitrectomy is a retinal treatment that removes the eye’s vitreous gel to repair a retinal detachment, and to remove scar tissue and other particles.
Pneumatic Retinopexy
Pneumatic retinopexy is a nonincisional medical procedure that utilizes innovative techniques to repair a retinal detachment or horseshoe tear.
Cryopexy
Cryopexy is a treatment that uses cold therapy to help treat retinal tears and detachments, while destroying any existing abnormal tissue.
Ocular Toxoplasmosis
Ocular toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a retinal infection that can lead to significant inflammation or scarring, and ultimately impaired vision.
Ocular Trauma
Ocular trauma results when the eye has been injured from a traumatic event such as a blunt force or sharp object harming the retina or cornea.
Inherited Retinal Dystrophies
A hereditary dystrophy of the retina and macula can manifest itself in a number of different ways and affect different aspects of a person’s vision.
Epiretinal Membrane
Comprehensive Retina Consultants is skilled in the surgical treatment of blurred and/or distorted vision that results from an epiretinal membrane.
Cystoid Macular Edema
At Comprehensive Retina Consultants, Dr. Shalesh Kaushal is equipped to diagnose and treat cystoid macular edema, yielding positive results.
Macular Pucker
A macular pucker is when scar tissue forms on the surface of the retina, causing blurry and sometimes distorted vision as a result.
Macular Hole
When the macula in the retina becomes torn, it can lead to vision loss and what is referred to as a macular hole — a serious condition.
Retinal Detachment
A retinal detachment occurs when the retina, the light-sensitive layer of tissue, becomes detached from its position due to a number of reasons.
Vitreous Hemorrhage
Uveitis
Uveitis is a condition that causes inflammation in the uvea, which is the middle layer of tissue that includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid.
Retinitis Pigmentosa
Retinitis pigmentosa is an umbrella of rare and inherited conditions, which usually begin in adolescence and lead to a gradual decline in vision loss.
Retinal Vein Occlusions
Retinal Tears
A retinal tear can occur when the vitreous gel detaches from the retina, which can result in blurry vision and in some cases, severe vision loss.
Posterior Vitreous Detachment
PVD is a condition that occurs among the elderly that can lead to blurry vision, floaters, and flashes of light. Often treated with a vitrectomy.
Optic Neuritis
Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
Ischemic optic neuropathy is often referred to as a stroke of the optic nerve, which can lead to significant vision loss and in some cases, blindness.
Intraocular Tumors
Intraocular tumors are abnormalities found inside the eye that develop when cell growth and death become unbalanced. They can be malignant or benign.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a retinal disease that can cause central vision loss. Dr. Kaushal is a known authority on AMD and offers advanced diagnostics.
