At Midwest Retina Consultants, S.C the treatment obtained will be brought together not only with the knowledge and expertise
of our physicians and staff, but also with the latest medical technology.


The diagnostic tests and treatment procedures we utilize are highly specialized with the most recent up to date innovations.

Diagnostic tests & treatment procedures

Select any test or procedure below to learn what it involves, what it diagnoses or treats, and what to expect during your visit.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

B-scan ultrasonography

Assesses eye diseases when direct visualization is not possible

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

Fundus photography

Photographs the back of the eye to find, watch, and treat disease

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

Fluorescein angiography

Dye-based imaging that reveals retinal blood vessel problems

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

Optical coherence tomography (OCT)

Non-invasive cross-section imaging of the retina layers

TREATMENT

Cryo-therapy

Freezing probe seals retinal tears from outside the eye

TREATMENT

Diabetic laser treatment

Laser reduces vision loss caused by diabetic eye disease

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

B-scan ultrasonography

A diagnostic test used to assess various diseases of the eye — most useful when direct visualization of intraocular structures is not possible.

B-scan ultrasound gives valuable information on the status of the lens, vitreous, retina, choroid, and sclera — structures that may be impossible to see directly due to clouding or other obstructions.

CONDITIONS TREATED / DIAGNOSED
Vitreous opacities Retinal detachment assessment Choroidal tumors Intraocular foreign bodies
DIAGNOSTIC TEST

Fundus photography

A diagnostic test used to capture detailed images of the retina — essential for detecting, monitoring, and managing retinal disease.

Fundus photography provides high-resolution images of the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels, allowing physicians to track changes over time and guide treatment decisions.

CONDITIONS TREATED / DIAGNOSED
Macular degeneration Diabetic retinopathy Retinal vascular disease Optic nerve abnormalities
DIAGNOSTIC TEST

Fluorescein angiography

A diagnostic test that evaluates blood flow in the retina — used to detect vascular abnormalities and leakage.

A specialized dye highlights retinal blood vessels, allowing detailed assessment of circulation and helping guide treatment decisions.

CONDITIONS TREATED / DIAGNOSED
Diabetic retinopathy Retinal vein occlusions Macular edema Choroidal neovascularization
DIAGNOSTIC TEST

Optical coherence tomography (OCT)

A non-invasive imaging test that provides cross-sectional views of the retina.

OCT uses light waves to create detailed images of retinal layers, helping detect fluid, swelling, and structural changes for accurate diagnosis and monitoring.

CONDITIONS TREATED / DIAGNOSED
Macular degeneration Macular edema Epiretinal membrane Macular hole
TREATMENT

Cryo-therapy

A treatment that uses controlled freezing to repair retinal tears.

Cryotherapy seals retinal tears and helps prevent progression to retinal detachment by creating a protective scar.

CONDITIONS TREATED / DIAGNOSED
Retinal tears Retinal detachment prevention Peripheral retinal degeneration
TREATMENT

Diabetic laser treatment

A laser treatment used to reduce complications from diabetic retinopathy.

This treatment seals leaking blood vessels and helps prevent further vision loss by stabilizing the retina.

CONDITIONS TREATED / DIAGNOSED
Diabetic retinopathy Macular edema Retinal vascular leakage Abnormal retinal blood vessels
