Our #retina specialist Dr. Finn was involved in a study to show the microvascular features of treated retinoblastoma tumors in children using OCT-Angiography, revealing that significant vascularity exists in inactive retinoblastoma lesions. http://ow.ly/skqE50yl3Sc

Our retina specialists, Dr. Khurana and Dr. Chang, engaged in a prominent study with Genentech to investigate disease activity-free intervals of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration in a post-hoc analysis of the phase 3 HARBOR trial. http://ow.ly/A1qI50ygCmq

Teamwork is at the core of what we do to provide the best care to our patients. We recently enjoyed a day away from the office bonding and team building. What greater way to bond than to make glass items? This was a unique experience and we're all glad we got to experience it with everyone!

We make sure we always express our appreciation for the hard work our staff members have done for our practice. Recently, our front desk specialist, Deanna, has gone above and beyond in her duties to help our office as well as our #retina specialists!

February marks Age-Related Macular Degeneration/Low Vision Awareness Month. This disease is the leading cause of severe and permanent #vision loss in patients over the age of 60. As board-certified #retina specialists we treat this disease regularly and participate in cutting-edge clinical trials for novel therapeutics. Our doctors are committed to preventing or limiting the damaging effects of this condition.

Our research team previously conducted a trial assessing how switching drugs for patients with vein occlusion and macular edema may minimize treatment burden for patients by lengthening the time between injections. #ophthalmology #retina #eyes http://ow.ly/A3rc50y8uq7
