The Doctors and Staff of Northern New Jersey Eye Institute will once again participate in Mission Cataract USA. Once per year, in the month of May, patients who have cataracts are provided with cataract surgery for free as a result of this national program. Potential patients must have no insurance, no other means to pay and income levels at national poverty levels. Screenings will be held on a date to be announced in late April or early May. Please call us at 973-763-2203 for details and to schedule a screening.
Retinal Disease Treatment
Retinal Disease
The retina is a thin sheet of nerve tissue in the back of the eye where light rays are focused and transmitted to the brain. The vitreous is a gel-like substance that fills the eye and is connected to the retina, optic nerve and many blood vessels. Problems with the retina and vitreous -- including retinal tear and detachment, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, infection and trauma -- can lead to vision loss and blindness. Early detection and treatment are critical in correcting problems before vision is lost or preventing further deterioration from occurring.
