General Practitioners

Arthritis
Primary Care
Retina specialists are the most highly qualified and skilled eye specialists in managing wet macular degeneration, retinal detachments, vein occlusions, retinal tears, diabetic retinopathy and a host of other potentially blinding retina conditions. If you develop retina problem, talk to your primary care eye doctor to see if they advise seeing a retina specialist.
Family Practice
Dr. Pate is a third generation physician and grew up watching his father and grandfather practice family medicine in rural Texas. He was valedictorian of his high school class and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Science in Medicine. He attended medical school at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, where he trained at the Texas Medical Center, the largest of its kind in the world. He then traveled to the bluegrass state and completed an internship in transitional surgery and a residency in ophthalmology at the University of Kentucky. He stayed in Lexington where he completed a dual 2-year fellowship in Vitreoretinal Surgery at the University of Kentucky and Retina Associates of Kentucky.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Most episodes of uveitis are mild and respond well to a series of eye drops. Unfortunately, uveitis can return after treatment is stopped so care must be taken to watch for any recurrence in symptoms. In rare cases, uveitis can be severe, chronic, and affect both eyes. These cases require aggressive, long term treatment to preserve vision. In cases where long term steroids as used, we carefully monitor the eye for signs of glaucoma.
Ophthalmology
A retina specialist is a Medical Doctor (MD) who has completed a residency in Ophthalmology and a subspecialty fellowship in retina disease. This involves 5-6 years of surgical training after completing medical school. Retina specialists are typically board certified in Ophthalmology and have completed highly selective fellowships in which they perform thousands of retina procedures.
Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in people over the age of 50 in the United States. While the exact cause of macular degeneration is being studied, we know that different genetic and age-related factors lead to an accelerated aging process in the eye. Macular degeneration affects only the central retina (macula) which is responsible for the clear vision required to read or drive. Although it usually affects both eyes, the eyes can be affected differently.
Laser Eye Surgery
A Macular Pucker (Epiretinal membrane) is a thin wrinkle or scar tissue membrane that lies on the surface of the retina. It commonly occurs with increasing age. While the majority of macular puckers just happen on their own, severe eye trauma, eye surgery or laser, or other pathologic eye conditions may be related.
Cataracts
The pucker (epiretinal membrane) can be surgically removed with a procedure called a "Vitrectomy". It is an outpatient surgery typically performed with the patient awake but comfortable in a "twilight" state. We place small instruments through the white part of the eye, remove the eye jelly, and "peel" the macular pucker off of the retina. The jelly is replaced with clear fluid that lasts the rest of life and often eliminates floaters. After surgery is performed, no strenuous activity, lifting, or straining can be performed for one to two weeks. Unlike cataract surgery where vision improves in a few days, the benefits of macular pucker surgery are not seen for weeks or months.
Cataract Surgery
Eye Exam
While uveitis usually occurs for no apparent reason, autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, or ankylosing spondylitis make people more susceptible. Any time inflammation occurs in the eye, we must rule out an infection by a careful eye examination and occasionally blood work.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
There are two stages of diabetic retinopathy: nonproliferative and proliferative. Nonproliferative retinopathy is the early stage where blood vessels in the retina leak or break. Small hemorrhages in the retina are very typical. If not detected it can advance to cause more severe vision problems. The second stage of diabetic retinopathy is more serious and called proliferative retinopathy. In this stage blood vessels close off and can interrupt blood flow to the retina. The retina then attempts to reestablish the blood flow by growing, or proliferating, new blood vessels. These new vessels are fragile and easily bleed causing loss of vision and scar tissue formation.

Ultrasound
At the Taylor Retina Center, we use the latest state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment modalities to provide superior care for your eyes. This includes high-definition retina scans, ultrasound technology, and retinal angiography that can be performed during your scheduled appointment. These technologies assist in the diagnosis and guide targeted treatments to help preserve or restore your vision.
Chemotherapy
Avastin was initially developed as a chemotherapy used to treat cancer. It works by attacking abnormal blood vessels that feed the cancer cells. In 2005 it was discovered that Avastin could be injected directly into the eye and stop abnormal blood vessel growth that occurs in various different eye diseases. Initially, it was found to be effective in patients with "wet" macular degeneration who would otherwise develop legal blindness. Lucentis is a smaller Avastin molecule that has undergone more extensive testing and is FDA approved for use in the eye (currently for "wet" macular degeneration and vein occlusion). Both medications are used commonly throughout the USA and the world and have revolutionized treatment of many eye conditions.
Radiation Therapy
Treatment for eye cancer varies by the type and by how advanced it is. It may include surgery, radiation therapy, freezing or heat therapy, or laser therapy.

General Surgery
Deductibles - Most insurance plans have deductibles that apply for surgical procedures. Please be prepared to pay your portion at the time that surgical services are rendered.

Skin Cancer
Cancer of the eye is uncommon and is just one of many causes of ocular tumors. If the cancer starts inside the eyeball it's called intraocular cancer. The most common intraocular cancers in adults are melanoma and lymphoma. The most common eye cancer in children is retinoblastoma, which starts in the cells of the retina. Cancer can also spread to the eye from other parts of the body.
