Arthritis
In most cases, the cause of uveitis remains unknown. In some cases medical conditions may be associated with uveitis, including diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or sarcoid. Infections including bacteria (such as syphilis), viruses (such as chicken pox or shingles), fungus (such as histoplasmosis), or other organisms such toxoplasmosis can also cause uveitis. Past ocular trauma may result in uveitis in the traumatized or unaffected eye. Your doctor will discuss any medical evaluation appropriate for your individual case. This may include blood tests or x-rays, or an evaluation of your overall health by your primary doctor or another specialist.

Cryotherapy
If your eye doctor discovers a retinal tear, it can usually be treated in the office with laser or cryotherapy. Both procedures seal the retina around the tear and prevent the development of a retinal detachment. These procedures are usually performed with little or no discomfort in the office and are highly successful. There are sometimes circumstances where a tear or retinal hole may not require treatment, or cases when despite treatment, new tears or a detachment occurs. If the retina has already detached, surgery is typically required to correct the problem. There are several different techniques, and in some cases, a procedure can be done in the office to repair the detachment. Your doctor will discuss which technique is most appropriate for your case.
High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
Dr. Eduardo Uchiyama joined the Retina Group of Florida after completing his Uveitis Fellowship at Harvard Medical School and participating in the uveitis referral practice at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He also served as an attending physician in the emergency department, where he supervised ophthalmologists-in-training and medical students.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Dr. Lalane graduated Summa Cum Laude from Duke University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and Biology. He decided to pursue a career while serving as a student volunteer emergency medical technician for the Duke campus and sporting events. He stayed at Duke University for his medical training and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. While earning his medical doctorate, he completed a basic-science research year at Duke University Eye Center to investigate aqueous humor proteomics and the effect of a topical rho-kinase inhibitor in a mouse model of glaucoma.
Ophthalmology
Retina Group of Florida is an ophthalmology practice devoted solely to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the retina, macula, vitreous, and related structures of the eye. At Retina Group of Florida, we are dedicated to providing individualized attention and the best care possible—all in a comfortable and compassionate environment. We know how stressful visiting the eye doctor can be, especially when it involves precious vision. That’s why Retina Group of Florida strives to make our patients as comfortable as possible by providing personalized care and advanced information on what to expect during a visit to our offices. Our retina specialists recognize that attending to our patient's needs is essential to making a visit with us a positive experience. The staff of Retina Group of Florida is here to serve. We pride ourselves on providing the same standard of care we would apply to ourselves.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is the deterioration or loss of cell function within the macula. The macula is the central area of the retina that you use for visually demanding tasks like reading, recognizing faces, driving a car, and color vision. Diseases of the macula may interfere with “detail vision”, making these activities more difficult. Macular problems can also cause images to appear distorted, or may cause cloudiness or darkness in the center of the visual field. Fortunately, many diseases that affect the tiny macula may spare the rest of the retina, thereby preserving peripheral vision. Therefore, diseases such as Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) rarely result in complete loss of sight.
Laser Eye Surgery
The vitreous is a jelly-like liquid that fills the inside of your eye. Over many years, the vitreous gel becomes more condensed, forming tiny clumps and strands. Eventually, the vitreous becomes so condensed that it will pull inward and separate away from the retina which lines the inside of the eye. This is known as a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). It should be emphasized that PVD is a natural process that will happen to most people at some point in their lives. While PVD can occur at any age, it is more common after age 50. It may occur at a younger age among nearsighted people, people who have had eye injuries, or those who have recently undergone an eye surgery.
Cataracts
A cataract is an opacification of the lens of the eye. The lens works to focus light on your retina during the vision process. Cataracts occur for many reasons, including prolonged sun exposure, diabetes, and advanced age. Untreated cataracts can lead to vision loss and blindness.
Cataract Surgery
Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) is a condition in which the macula develops microscopic swelling, which can blur the central vision. In some cases, cyst-like collections of fluid may form. CME most commonly develops following cataract surgery. Treatments for CME depend on its cause. CME may be treated with medicated eye drops, injected medication, or laser treatments. Retina Group of Florida offers state-of-the-art laser treatments.
Eye Exam
This condition is diagnosed with a dilated eye exam and often a dye test called fluorescein angiography which highlights the lack of proper flow in the affected blood vessel.

Neurology
Dr. Thompson graduated with honors from Dartmouth College, where he majored in Molecular Genetics. While at Dartmouth, he was honored with the Xerox Young Researcher Award. He earned his Medical Degree with high honors from The Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society and earned the Award of Excellence in Clinical Neurology. He completed his internship at Baylor College of Medicine Affiliated Hospitals. Dr. Thompson came to Miami for his residency training at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, where he also completed his Fellowship in Vitreoretinal Surgery and Medical Retina (with Dr. Don Gass). He served on the Bascom Palmer Faculty, prior to joining Retina Group of Florida. Dr. Thompson is Board-Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of new blindness in adults in the United States. However, with early diagnosis and treatment only a small percentage of people who develop diabetic retinopathy will go on to develop severe vision loss.

Ultrasound
Phacoemulsification, or phaco. A small incision is made on the side of the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. Your doctor inserts a tiny probe into the eye. This device emits ultrasound waves that soften and break up the lens so that it can be removed by suction. Most cataract surgery today is done by phacoemulsification, also called "small incision cataract surgery."
X-Rays

General Surgery
Endophthalmitis is a serious inner eye infection. It is most frequently caused by bacteria entering the eye during invasive eye procedures or surgery. It can also occur in association with general surgery, systemic infection, or eye injury. Endophthalmitis is a medical emergency and can result in vision loss.

Skin Cancer
Choroidal melanoma is the most common intraocular tumor in adults. It originates in the choroid cells. A choroidal melanoma is a type of cancer that can spread to other parts of the body. Your doctor can check you for an inner eye tumor with a dilated eye examination. Treatments for intraocular tumors vary, depending on the size of the tumor. Feel confident that as a patient of Retina Group of Florida, you have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment modalities for intraocular tumors.
