What an incredible experience everybody was super professional. I was a little worried at first because I’m so used to the doctors doing image work and MRIs and Dr. Padra. He literally just did an exam and we found the exact same spot that I got diagnosed, but then there was another spot with my SI joint, which I’ve never been told about which actually caused more pain than my other spot which was my lower back…. So we just did both and it’s been a week and I’m already feeling a difference. I’m hoping three week mark is gonna be the time where I really really start to feel it so thank you again. You guys were awesome. I will definitely be sending people to you and at some point come back when I need it. 🙂
Treatment Options for Retinal & Optic Nerve Conditions
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
Derived from your own blood, PRP is rich in growth factors that reduce inflammation and stimulate tissue healing in the retina and optic nerve.
Exosome Therapy
These nanoscale extracellular vesicles are loaded with regenerative molecules. They can promote neuroprotection and repair in degenerative eye conditions.
IV Nutrient Therapy
Supplementing systemic antioxidants and ocular nutrients supports retinal function and protects against oxidative stress, especially in diabetic retinopathy or AMD.
Intravitreal Biologics & Peptide Injections
Non-surgical alternatives to traditional corticosteroids or immunosuppressants with fewer side effects.
Comprehensive Monitoring & Personalized Plans
Each treatment plan includes diagnostic imaging (OCT, fundus photography), visual field testing, and progress monitoring for optimal long-term results.
Understanding Retinal & Optic Nerve Conditions
The retina and optic nerve are vital to healthy vision. Damage or inflammation to these structures can lead to vision loss, blind spots, floaters, or even total blindness if untreated. Common conditions we treat include:
- Retinal Degeneration (e.g., AMD)
- Diabetic Retinopathy
- Retinal Vein Occlusion
- Optic Neuritis
- Glaucoma-related Optic Neuropathy
- Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
- Post-Surgical Retinal Trauma
These issues can result from aging, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, or trauma and often require a multi-faceted, personalized approach.
