Each year, Calgary Retina Consultants treats over 50,000 patients using the most advanced surgical techniques and technology in the field of ophthalmology. Learn more about the surgery and treatment options available at Calgary Retina Consultants.
Vitrectomy
Vitrectomy surgery is a procedure used for the treatment of retinal detachment, retinal tears, macular holes, vitreomacular traction, and removal of epiretinal membranes.
Epiretinal Membrane Peel
An epiretinal membrane peel is an advanced procedure used to remove scar tissue over the macula in cases of epiretinal membrane, macular holes and retinal detachment.
Scleral Buckling Surgery
Scleral buckling surgery is an effective procedure used for repairing tears, holes, or breaks caused by retinal detachment.
Pneumatic Retinopexy
Pneumatic retinopexy is a procedure used for repositioning and repairing the retina in cases of retinal detachment and retinal tears.
Avastin and Lucentis Injections
Avastin and Lucentis are anti-VEGF medications used for preventing the growth of abnormal blood vessels in cases of wet age-related macular degeneration, macular edema, branch retinal vein occlusion, central retinal vein occlusion, and diabetic retinopathy.
Eylea Injections
Eylea is an anti-VEGF medication used for preventing the growth of abnormal blood vessels in cases of wet age-related macular degeneration.
Periocular and Intravitreal Steroid Injections
Periocular and intravitreal steroid injections are used for treatment in cases of uveitis and diabetic macular edema.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a non-invasive surgical technique used for repairing retinal detachments and retinal tears.
Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy is a type of laser treatment used for treating the wet form of age-related macular degeneration and central serous chorioretinopathy.
Focal Macular Laser Treatment
Focal macular laser treatment is a method used for sealing and destroying abnormal blood vessels in cases of branch retinal vein occlusion and diabetic retinopathy.
YAG Laser Capsulotomy
YAG laser capsulotomy is a treatment for removing posterior capsule opacification – otherwise known as secondary cataracts or after cataracts.
Laser Iridotomy Treatment
Laser iridotomy treatment is used for decreasing intraocular pressure (IOP) in cases of acute closed-angle glaucoma by making a small hole in the iris.
Selective Laser Trabculoplasty
Selective laser trabeculoplasty, also known as a SLT laser treatment, is used to improve drainage and reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in cases of open-angle glaucoma.
