Retinal Treatments in Newark, DE

retinal treatments newark, de The retina is the light sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye and essential for creating the image that is transferred to the brain. Light rays are focused onto the retina through our cornea, pupil, and lens. The retina converts the light rays into impulses that travel through the optic nerve to our brain, where they are interpreted as the images we see.

Retinal Detachment

A lot of people see light flashes and floaters from time to time. However, sometimes these or other symptoms may be signs of a tear or detachment. Call our office quickly if you notice any of the following:

The number of light flashes or floaters suddenly increases
Your vision becomes dark or blurry
Your vision changes after a sharp blow to the eye

There are a number of surgeries that can be performed to repair a retinal detachment. This includes a sclera buckling operation, Pars plana vitrectomy surgery, and pneumatic retinopexy. Your doctor will determine the best procedure to repair your retinal detachment.

Causes and Risk Factors

If the retina begins to pull or tear away from its support tissue, it can allow fluids to seep underneath the retina, leading to detachment. The retina does not work when it is detached. A retinal detachment is a very serious problem that can cause blindness unless it is treated.

Look out for:

Sign of a tear (floaters, light flashes, and blurry vision)
An area of dark vision, like a curtain or veil coming down over your vision

Testimonial

After wearing contact lenses and glasses for over 15 years, I am amazed at how well I can now see without them thanks to you and your team at Eye Care of Delaware.

My experience on the road to new vision began at your office with a comprehensive screening and your staff made me feel very comfortable the entire way by giving me detailed information about the test, the process, and the surgery. All of my questions were answered much beyond satisfaction. A special thanks goes to the ECD staff whose professionalism and great attitude made the entire process easy and comforting.

Now, a month after the surgery, I would recommend Lasik surgery to anyone interested in having the procedure done and direct them to the fine team of vision professionals at Eye Care of Delaware. Terrance H., New Castle, DE

Everyone, including the woman who called to confirm my appointment was very helpful. They patiently answered all my questions. I was very nervous about the surgery, but they made me feel very comfortable. Instructions were very clear and I received a follow-up call in the afternoon. The results are incredible!!! I can’t believe the difference. Dr. Owczarek was very professional, gentle, and the actual surgery was quick and painless. I can’t wait to get the other eye done. I would definitely recommend the Cataract and Laser Center to anyone who needs cataract surgery. Kathleen B., Wilmington, DE

Everything went GREAT! My eyesight is PERFECT! I can’t thank you all enough. Adiris C., Wilmington, DE
