Retina Specialists Frackville, PA

Are you or a loved one experiencing symptoms such as sudden floaters, flashes of light, blurred vision, or loss of visual field? It’s important to see a retina specialist as soon as possible. At Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania, our fellowship-trained retinal experts provide advanced diagnosis, personalized treatment, and compassionate care for Frackville, PA, and surrounding communities.

What Is a Retina Specialist?

A retina specialist is an ophthalmologist who completes additional fellowship training focused on the retina, the light-sensitive tissue layer at the back of your eye, responsible for central vision. Our specialists diagnose and treat diseases that affect the retina, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, and vein occlusions. These conditions can be sight-threatening, so early detection and timely care are essential.

Conditions We Treat

Diabetic Retinopathy

Occurs when diabetes damages retinal blood vessels. It’s a leading cause of vision loss, but early treatment via injections, laser therapy, or vascular control can slow progression.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Affects central vision and is common in older adults. While advanced dry AMD lacks a cure, treatments can slow wet AMD progression. We offer therapies such as intravitreal injections, laser therapy, and photodynamic therapy.

Retinal Tears and Detachments

Although they may initially be symptom-free, tears and detachments can lead to permanent vision loss. We use in-office laser or cryopexy for tears and surgical repair, such as vitrectomy, for detachments.
