Conditions We Frequently Treat
The leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50. We treat both dry and wet AMD including the latest anti-VEGF therapies.
→ 02The most common cause of vision loss in working-age adults. Annual screening and advanced treatment to protect your sight.
→ 03A sight-threatening emergency. Prompt surgical repair including pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle, and vitrectomy.
→ 04BRVO and CRVO causing sudden painless vision loss. Treated with anti-VEGF injections and laser therapy.
→ 05A break in the central macula causing blurred central vision. Vitrectomy surgery offers excellent visual recovery.
→ 06New or sudden flashes and floaters require prompt evaluation to rule out retinal tear or detachment.
→ 07An epiretinal membrane causing central vision distortion. Treated with vitrectomy and membrane peeling when indicated.
→More Conditions We Treat
Beyond our most commonly treated diagnoses, Dr. Rudometkin evaluates and manages a broad range of vitreoretinal conditions.
Blood in the vitreous cavity causing sudden vision changes — often from diabetic retinopathy or retinal tear.
→Fluid under the retina causing blurred central vision, most common in middle-aged adults under stress.
→Inflammation inside the eye requiring prompt treatment to prevent complications including vision loss.
→Injuries to the eye from blunt force, sharp objects, or chemical exposure — evaluated and treated urgently.
→A severe intraocular infection — a medical emergency requiring immediate antibiotic therapy and possible surgery.
→Retained lens fragments and secondary IOL placement managed with advanced vitreoretinal techniques.

Pars plana vitrectomy, scleral buckle, pneumatic retinopexy, membrane peeling, and gas/oil tamponade.
