Retina Care & Surgery | Advanced Eye Treatments at M&M

What is the Retina?

The retina is a thin layer of tissue at the back of your eye that plays a crucial role in vision. It captures light and sends visual signals to your brain, allowing you to see and interpret the world around you. Because of its delicate structure, the retina is vulnerable to various conditions threatening your sight if not diagnosed and treated early.

At M&M, we protect, preserve, and restore retinal health with leading-edge expertise and compassionate care.

Common Retina Conditions We Can Help With

1. Macular Degeneration

As we age, the macula—the center of the retina responsible for detailed vision—can start to deteriorate.
Macular degeneration comes in two forms:

Dry Macular Degeneration (more common and slower progressing)
Wet Macular Degeneration (less common but faster and more severe)

At M&M, we use advanced imaging to detect macular degeneration early and offer treatments to help preserve your sharp, central vision.

2. Diabetic Retinopathy

High blood sugar and blood pressure can quietly damage the small blood vessels in the retina. Over time, these vessels can leak or bleed, leading to blurry or distorted vision.

In more severe stages, known as Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR), abnormal vessels grow and create traction on the retina (called vitreomacular traction or VMT), sometimes requiring delicate vitrectomy surgery to prevent or repair retinal detachments.

With early care, we can often slow or stop the progression, protecting your vision for years.

3. Retinal Detachment

As we age, the gel inside our eyes (the vitreous) naturally shrinks and can pull away from the retina, leading to posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).

Sometimes this pull causes a tear or even a full retinal detachment — a medical emergency that needs fast treatment.

Warning signs can include:

A sudden shower of floaters
New flashes of light
A dark shadow or curtain over your vision

At M&M, our retina specialists are ready to quickly intervene with the proper treatment, whether a simple procedure or surgery, to save your sight.

How We Help You Heal

At M&M, we use the latest technology and techniques to make your retina care smooth, practical, and comfortable. Our goal isn’t just to treat the problem — it’s to restore your confidence, daily freedom, and connection to the world around you.

Here’s how we care for you:

Intravitreal Injections: Targeted medications that slow or stop disease activity in conditions like diabetic retinopathy and wet AMD.
Laser Treatments: Quick, precise laser therapies to repair tears, treat bleeding vessels, and strengthen the retina.
Vitrectomy Surgery: When needed, our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to remove blood, scar tissue, or traction damaging the retina.
World-Class Imaging: We use Heidelberg high-definition imaging systems — some of the most powerful diagnostic tools. With these, we can see structures inside your retina as small as a few microns (even smaller than a red blood cell!), helping us detect problems early and plan the most effective treatments.
