Arthritis
Lupus Smoking (cigarettes, cigars or pipes) also increases your risk of getting uveitis. Uveitis can develop suddenly. Symptoms can include...
Cryotherapy
Most retinal tears need to be treated by sealing the retina to the back wall of the eye with laser surgery or cryotherapy (a freezing treatment). Both of these procedures create a scar that helps seal the retina to the back of the eye. This prevents fluid from traveling through the tear and under the retina, which usually prevents the retina from detaching. These treatments cause little or no discomfort and may be performed in your ophthalmologist’s office.
High Cholesterol

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
You so your vision can be measured with them in place. The technician will obtain the history of your problem and apply anesthetic drops so that the pressure within your eyes can be measured. This is a painless test for glaucoma. A second set of drops will be given to dilate (widen) your pupils. Dilation is necessary for a complete examination of the inside of your eyes. It will take up to 30 minutes for your pupils to fully dilate.
Ophthalmology
Brennan M. Boyd, MD is a physician, ophthalmologist, and aspiring retina specialist. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology from the University of Arizona. He then received a Doctor of Medicine from the University of Arizona, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society and graduated with Distinction in Research. He completed Ophthalmology Residency at the University of Louisville where he obtained a high volume clinical and surgical experience. Dr. Boyd is excited to return to Arizona for subspecialty fellowship training in vitreoretinal surgery.
Macular Degeneration
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), joining a support group may be one of the most beneficial ways to cope with adjusting to vision loss.
Laser Eye Surgery
Causes of Macular Pucker Macular pucker is often caused by the shrinkage or detachment of the vitreous (jelly-like substance) in the eye. When the vitreous pulls away from the retinal surface (a very normal occurrence) the retina will begin to heal the damaged area and form scar tissue. When this occurs on other areas of the retina, there is usually no effect on central vision; however, if it forms on the macula and begins to wrinkle, central vision will be affected. Eye trauma and prior eye surgery can also have an impact on the vitreous and lead to a macular pucker.
Cataracts
Usher Syndrome Usher syndrome is the most common condition that affects both hearing and vision; sometimes it also affects balance. The major symptoms of Usher syndrome are deafness or hearing loss and an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Deafness or hearing loss in Usher syndrome is caused by abnormal development of hair cells (sound receptor cells) in the inner ear. Most children with Usher syndrome are born with moderate to profound hearing loss, depending on the type. Less commonly, hearing loss from Usher syndrome appears during adolescence or later. Usher syndrome can also cause severe balance problems due to abnormal development of the vestibular hair cells, sensory cells that detect gravity and head movement. RP initially causes night-blindness and a loss of peripheral (side) vision through the progressive degeneration of cells in the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye and is crucial for vision. As RP progresses, the field of vision narrows until only central vision remains, a condition called tunnel vision. Macular holes (small breaks in the macula, the central part of the retina) and cataracts (clouding of the lens) can sometimes cause an early decline in central vision in people with Usher syndrome.
Cataract Surgery
Eye Exam
A comprehensive, dilated eye exam will help our doctors diagnose the issue and recommend treatment options. Treatment will depend on which part of the retina is affected, how severe the issue is and what is causing the problem. Click here to read more about retina health.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy The retina (nerves at the back of your eye) needs a continual supply of blood and nutrients to stay healthy. If the blood vessels that supply blood to the retina begin to deteriorate and leak fluid and blood into the retinal tissue, the health of the retina is put in jeopardy. The condition of diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes. It is estimated that over 25% of diabetics have some form of this disease. It is the leading cause of blindness in adults with diabetes.

Ultrasound
We offer complete diagnostic testing including fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, ultrasound, and visual fields. We make every effort to complete all of the special testing that might be needed on the day of your visit, depending on medical necessity and the requirements of your insurance.
Radiation Therapy
Treatment for Choroidal Nevus There is no way to safely remove a choroidal nevus. If your condition turns into choroidal melanoma, your doctor will closely monitor your condition and may recommend radiation therapy. In extreme cases, enucleation (removal of the eye) may be recommended. To learn more about diagnosis and treatments for choroidal nevus in Phoenix, contact us today to schedule an appointment.

Skin Cancer
The most common cancer of the eye is melanoma, also known as ocular melanoma. Melanoma is a type of cancer that develops in the cells responsible for producing the pigment that gives your skin, hair and eyes color. Just as you can develop a melanoma on your skin, you can also develop it in your eye. Although it is the most common type of eye cancer in adults, ocular melanoma is rare.
Lesions
A B-scan is an ultrasound machine used to view the internal structures of the eye. With the B-scan, the operator can see a cross-section of the eye. It is used when, during a dilated exam, the physician cannot obtain a clear view of the patient’s retina or other internal structures due to bleeding, a dense cataract, corneal cloudiness or lesions. It can also be used to locate and follow cancerous tumors and other abnormalities.
