General Practitioners

Cryotherapy
A dilated eye exam will be performed to diagnose a detached retina. The treatment plan will depend on the severity of the tear or detachment. There are several surgical approaches that can be used to reattach the retina with the goal of restoring and preserving vision. Treatment options include cryotherapy, laser therapy, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle, or vitrectomy. Your eye doctor will discuss your options and determine the best approach for your case.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Dr. El Rashedy earned her medical degree graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Cairo in Egypt. She completed her ophthalmology residency at the University of Cairo in Egypt. Dr. El Rashedy then went on to complete a Uveitis and ocular immunology research fellowship at the Massachusetts Eye Research and Surgical Institute, followed by a glaucoma fellowship at Case Western Reserve and finally a medical retina fellowship at the University of Kentucky.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Nelsen obtained his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Illinois Medical School. He completed a rotating internship at Milwaukee County Hospital, and a residency in ophthalmology at Northwestern University Medical Center. Dr. Nelsen completed his retina fellowship at Albany Medical College. He is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration, which is also called age-related macular degeneration or AMD, affects more than 2 million Americans and is the leading cause of vision loss in seniors.
Laser Eye Surgery
Cataracts
Eye Exam
People of any age can experience retinal detachment, although it is more common over the age of 40. A detached retina is sometimes, but not always, the result of an injury, so you should have a dilated eye exam if you experience any trauma to the eye. Some risk factors that may make you more susceptible to retinal detachment include

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that affects your bodyâ€™s blood sugar levels and can also cause eye disease, specifically diabetic retinopathy. Regular eye exams can help with early detection and treatment to prevent long term vision loss.

Radiologist

Ultrasound
Your initial visit to our office may take 1 to 3 hours, depending upon the type of retinal problem you have and the need for specialized tests such as fluorescein angiography, ophthalmic ultrasound, and optical coherence tomography. To examine your retina it will be necessary to place dilating drops in your eyes. If possible, it is best to bring someone with you to your visit to drive you home. You will first encounter our front desk staff, who will assist you in checking in and sorting out authorization and insurance information. You will then meet one of our technical staff, who will obtain a medical and ophthalmic history, check your vision, measure your eye pressure and dilate one or both eyes as appropriate. Your eye doctor will see you once your eyes are dilated and examine you with an ophthalmoscope. This allows us to see your retina in close detail and will help to determine what problem you might have. In some cases, special tests such as fluorescein angiography may be ordered. Many times we are able to obtain the angiogram within 20 to 30 minutes and make treatment decisions quickly. In some cases treatment such as lasers or injections may be done on the same day as your visit or be scheduled for a future date. For some retinal disorders, immediate treatment is needed and will be performed. Because the retina is subject to diseases that sometimes require emergency treatment, we often need to see unscheduled patients. We make every effort to provide expedient care to all of our patients, but, in the case of emergency, we treat those with the greatest need as quickly as possible.
