Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is another technique that may be used to treat small retinal tears or detachments. Cryotherapy involves the use of extreme cold to freeze the retina around the tear, which can prevent further damage and help the retina to reattach.
Pediatric Care
Primary Care
Our patient above had genetic testing completed via the Invitae company inherited retinal disorders panel which can test for up to 330 genes. 293 genes were analyzed. The report showed that the patient was heterozygous for a pathologic mutation in the TRNT1 gene. The TRNT1 gene (tRNA nucleotidyl trasferase 1) codes for a protein that functions by catalyzing the addition of a CCA nucleotide triplet to tRNA molecules in the cytosol and mitochondria5. The TRNT1 mutation has been shown to cause a rare syndrome of sideroblastic anemia with immunodeficiency, fevers, developmental delay in childhood (SIFD), as well as retinitis pigmentosa with predominately ophthalmologic features6. Our patient had no other history or findings to suggest SIFD, however the patient was referred to his primary care physician to evaluate for possible hematologic abnormalities as there have been reports of patients with RP and erythrocytic microcytosis.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Dr. George Skopis was born and raised in Tarpon Springs, FL which is a small town on the coast 45 minutes west of Tampa. Dr. Skopis received a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of Florida in Gainesville. He earned his medical degree from the FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine in Miami FL where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honors society. Dr. Skopis also won several teaching awards as a medical student. He completed his internship in internal medicine at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach where he was voted the intern of the year by his co-residents and hospital faculty. Dr. Skopis completed his ophthalmology residency at Georgetown University Hospital/Washington Hospital Center in Washington DC where he served as chief resident. During his time in residency Dr. Skopis worked with the Prevention of Blindness Society to perform free glaucoma screenings to DC residents and eye exams for children before the start of their school year.
Ophthalmology
Rama D. Jager, M.D., M.B.A., F.A.C.S., is a board-certified ophthalmologist and vitreoretinal surgeon. He is the President and Managing Partner of University Retina. He also serves as Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Illinois at Chicago / Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary.
Macular Degeneration
Dr. Sheth utilizes the latest imaging and treatment techniques for retinal diseases including macular degeneration, retinal vascular occlusions, diabetic eye diseases, epiretinal membrane, macular pucker, macular holes, and retinal detachment.
Cataracts
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogenous group of disorders that is characterized by progressive vision loss, degeneration of the retinal photoreceptors leading to bone spicule pigmentation, poor night vision and visual field defects1. RP may be syndromic and include systemic findings such as obesity, deafness, polydactyly, renal disease, diabetes mellitus, ataxia and central nervous system abnormalities1. The most common form of syndromic RP is Usher syndrome2, which is characterized by RP with neurosensory hearing loss and posterior subcapsular cataract. However, a majority of RP is non-syndromic accounting for 70-80% of cases4. As one of the most common retinal dystrophies, RP affects 1.5 million patients worldwide3 with a prevalence of nearly 1:5,0004.
Cataract Surgery
A sutured intraocular lens or IOL is an artificial lens placed in the eye, usually during cataract surgery. A sutured IOL may be used if the natural lens capsule is too weak or suffered too much damage to hold a regular intraocular lens in place.
Eye Exam
While PVD can be a normal part of the aging process and typically does not require treatment, it can be a risk factor for other eye conditions, such as retinal tears or detachment. Therefore, if you experience symptoms of PVD, it is important to consult your eye doctor at University Retina for a comprehensive eye exam to ensure you are not at risk for vision loss.
