 Retina-Vitreous
Associates is a subspecialty practice devoted to diseases and
surgery of the retina and vitreous, i.e.
diabetic retinopathy,
aged macular degeneration,
and retinal detachment.
Our Houston location is at 1200 Binz, in the museum district,
immediately north of the Texas Medical Center. We have
several satellite locations, in space that is designated for
our use by general-surgical ophthalmologists or
therapeutic-trained optometrists. These peripheral
locations are fully equipped for diagnostic photography and,
if necessary, for retinal laser coagulation.
Our satellite
locations extend from Huntsville, 70 miles north of Houston,
to Lake Jackson, which is 50 miles to the south. We
also service the Beaumont-Port Arthur-Orange triangle near
the Louisiana state line. And to the west, we provide
care for retina-vitreous patients in Richmond, Sealy, and
Bellville (click here to view all
our locations).
When surgery
becomes a necessary part of the therapeutic care we provide,
the operative procedure is performed on an out-patient basis
at Park Plaza, Methodist or St. Luke's Episcopal hospitals.
Following the operation, routine care is resumed at the
satellite facility.
The Binz office is
our primary location and it is at that location to which all
telephone calls are directed. Our staff of nine
dedicated and highly trained employees provide prompt and
efficient service. They work with the physicians in a
team of approach. The field of retina-vitreous disease
and surgery is dynamic and ever changing. Physician and
technician alike must be well informed of each and every
emerging treatment option. Our mission is to merge the
advantages and disadvantages of all existing therapies and
obtain the best ocular health for our patients.
Some of the new
treatment modalities under evaluation by us are:
As the population
ages, retinal problems become more commonplace. We are
ready and able to meet that need. |
