Please call to confirm appointment availability.
The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. Retinal conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, retinal tears, diabetic eye disease, and retinal vascular problems need assessment and appropriate follow-up. At Hamade Eye Care Clinic, your findings guide a discussion of monitoring, treatment options, or referral when needed. Sudden flashes, new floaters, a curtain-like shadow, or sudden vision loss require urgent assessment.
Retinal care includes monitoring and treatments intended to reduce the risk of further vision loss. Depending on the condition, treatment may include medication, laser procedures, or surgery. The expected benefit, risks, and recovery vary, and treatment cannot always restore vision already lost.
A retinal assessment may include a dilated examination and imaging such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) or retinal photography. These tests help identify changes and monitor them over time.
Depending on the diagnosis, options may include monitoring, injections, laser treatment, or surgery. Your ophthalmologist will explain which approach is appropriate and whether a specialist referral is needed. Benefits and possible side effects should be discussed before treatment.
Your visit includes a review of your symptoms, medical history, and previous eye treatment. Your eyes may be dilated to examine the retina, and imaging may be recommended. Dr. Hamade will explain the findings and any recommended next steps.
Dilating drops can cause blurred vision and light sensitivity for several hours. Bring sunglasses and arrange for someone to drive you home if your eyes will be dilated. After any procedure, follow the specific medication, activity, and follow-up instructions given by your treating clinician.

Timely assessment and appropriate treatment can help reduce the risk of further vision loss. The result depends on the condition, its severity, and how it responds to treatment.
Treatment for conditions affecting the macula, including wet macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema, may help preserve central vision and sometimes improve it. Individual outcomes vary.
Laser or freezing treatment may be used to seal some retinal tears and reduce the risk of detachment. A retinal detachment is an emergency and may require surgery.
Monitoring and treatment can help manage chronic retinal conditions and reduce the risk of worsening vision. Repeat visits or treatments may be needed, and continued follow-up remains important.
A sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, a dark curtain or shadow, or sudden vision loss can signal a retinal tear or detachment. Seek an urgent eye assessment immediately. If you cannot reach an eye specialist promptly, go to an emergency department rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
The eye is numbed before an injection to reduce discomfort. Some people feel pressure or brief discomfort, and experiences vary. Your ophthalmologist will explain the procedure, risks, and aftercare. Severe or increasing pain, marked redness, or worsening vision after an injection needs urgent advice from the treating team.
There is currently no cure for age-related macular degeneration. Treatment depends on its type and stage. Anti-VEGF injections can slow vision loss from wet AMD and may improve vision. AREDS2 supplements may help some people with intermediate AMD or late AMD in one eye; ask your eye doctor whether they are appropriate for you.
Retinal laser treatment often aims to reduce the risk of further vision loss rather than restore vision already lost. Results depend on the condition being treated. Your ophthalmologist will explain the intended benefit, possible side effects, and follow-up plan before treatment.
