Comprehensive Retina Care
Retina Conditions We Treat
At Shane Retina, we specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases of the retina. From common age-related conditions to complex and vision-threatening problems, our retina specialists provide advanced, personalized care to help protect and preserve your vision.
Macular Degeneration
A common age-related condition that affects central vision and can make reading and driving difficult.
Eye Flashes & Floaters
Sudden flashes of light or new floaters may be harmless — or a sign of a serious retinal problem.
Retinal Tear & Detachment
A retinal tear or detachment is a serious eye emergency that can lead to permanent vision loss.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes can damage the retina and cause vision loss if not carefully monitored and treated.
Retinal Vein Occlusion
A blockage in the retinal veins can cause sudden or progressive vision changes.
Macular Hole
A small opening in the macula that can cause blurred or distorted central vision.
Macular Pucker
Scar tissue on the macula that can cause wavy or blurred central vision over time.
Dislocated Intraocular Lens
A shifted lens after cataract surgery that can cause blurred or unstable vision.
Not long ago, many retinal conditions were considered untreatable. Today, modern retina care offers real hope, with treatments that can preserve vision, slow disease, and continue to improve outcomes.

Advanced Retina Treatments & Technology
Today’s retina care offers more ways to protect and preserve vision than ever before. At Shane Retina, we pair advanced technology with careful monitoring to recommend the right treatment at the right time, always tailored to your needs.
Eye Injections
Eye injections are one of the most effective ways to treat retinal disease and help prevent vision loss. They are commonly used for wet macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion, and are performed in-office with patient comfort, safety, and careful monitoring as a priority.
Advanced Macular Degeneration Therapies
Modern care for macular degeneration continues to evolve. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment options may include targeted injections, newer therapies for advanced dry macular degeneration such as injections for dry AMD, or non-invasive options like Valeda Light Therapy.
Long-Acting Treatment Options
For certain patients with wet macular degeneration, longer-lasting treatments may reduce the need for frequent injections. The Susvimo ocular implant delivers medication over time and can be an effective option for maintaining vision with fewer treatment visits.
Laser & In-Office Retina Treatments
Laser therapy plays an important role in managing certain retinal conditions and visual disturbances. In addition to treating retinal tears and diabetic eye disease, select patients may be candidates for laser floater treatment, an in-office procedure designed to reduce bothersome floaters and improve visual comfort.
Retina Surgery
When surgical care is needed, our retina specialists are experienced in advanced procedures such as vitrectomy, retinal detachment repair, and macular surgery. Each procedure is tailored to the individual patient and performed using advanced technology, with the goal of preserving vision, improving visual outcomes, and minimizing further vision loss.
Advanced Retina Imaging & Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis and careful monitoring are essential in retinal care. Advanced imaging technologies such as OCT and specialized retinal imaging allow us to evaluate disease progression, guide treatment decisions, and closely monitor response to therapy over time, helping ensure you get the most effective care possible.
