Captured by one of our talented photographers, Dezirae Elkins, this image highlights high-quality visualization of the FDA-approved Port Delivery System (PDS), an important advancement in the management of chronic retinal disease. The PDS is a surgically implanted platform designed to provide sustained intravitreal therapy while reducing the need for frequent in-office injections.

🔬 Eye on Technology: B-Scan Ocular Ultrasound

A B-Scan ultrasound is a simple, painless test that uses sound waves to create a detailed image of the back of your eye. It’s especially helpful when the view is obscured or to measure and monitor growth of a lesion.

During the test, a small probe is gently placed on your closed eyelid to capture images. It isn’t painful, though you may feel slight pressure as you look in different directions so detailed images can be obtained.

📸 Why it matters:
• Detects conditions like retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage
• Helps evaluate tumors such as choroidal melanoma
• Allows precise measurements to guide diagnosis and treatment
• Provides critical information when the retina can’t be seen during a regular exam

Advanced imaging helps us diagnose accurately, monitor closely, and protect your vision every step of the way. 💙

👁️This is an image of a Retinal Detachment with multiple breaks. A retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the back wall of the eye. The typical symptoms of a retinal detachment include floaters, flashing lights, and a shadow or curtain in the peripheral (noncentral) vision that can be stationary (non-moving) or progress toward, and involve, the center of vision. In other cases of a retinal detachment, patients may not be aware of any changes in their vision. The severity of the symptoms is often related to the extent of the detachment.
If you detect you have a retinal detachment, you will need to be seen by a retinal specialist immediately to schedule an exam and treatment. Treatments for tears and detachments may consist of laser, cryotherapy, surgical repair, or a combination of these.
