Retina

The old adage is that “the eyes are the windows to the soul”. Developments in modern scientific technology have revealed that the eye is also a window to the body. The innermost region of the eye (retina) provides the key that allows my office to open the door to the diagnosis and management of many systemic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. One way we document the retinal findings is with digital retinal imaging which provides us with a “footprint” of your eye health. Macular Degeneration should be considered of epidemic proportions. The only “treatment” from the complications of macular degeneration is the usage of low vision devices (magnifiers). It takes some special training to utilize these devices and we can provide these services on Tuesday during routine business hours (9am to 5pm) by Dr. Jean Astorino a specialty trained optometrist (O.D.).
