Protecting Your Vision Through Every Stage of Retinal Disease
Advanced retinal care tailored to your individual needs — from diabetic eye disease and macular degeneration to complex vitreoretinal surgery and retinal detachment repair.
Comprehensive Retinal Services
Our practice focuses exclusively on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the retina, vitreous, and macula — the structures at the back of the eye responsible for your central and detailed vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Regular retinal screening and treatment to prevent vision loss from diabetic eye disease, including laser therapy and anti-VEGF injections for proliferative and macular edema.
Macular Degeneration
Early detection and ongoing management of dry and wet age-related macular degeneration, including intravitreal injections to preserve central vision and slow disease progression.
Vitreoretinal Surgery
Minimally invasive surgical procedures for retinal detachment, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and vitreous hemorrhage using state-of-the-art vitrectomy technology.
Retinal Vascular Disease
Diagnosis and treatment of retinal vein and artery occlusions, hypertensive retinopathy, and other vascular conditions that threaten vision.
Diagnostic Imaging
Advanced retinal imaging including OCT (optical coherence tomography), fluorescein angiography, and wide-field photography for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Comprehensive dilated eye examinations for patients with diabetes, ensuring early detection of retinal changes and timely intervention to prevent vision loss.
Dedicated to Preserving What Matters Most — Your Vision
Retina Consultants of New Orleans is a specialized ophthalmology practice located in Gretna, serving patients throughout the greater New Orleans metropolitan area and southeast Louisiana. Our practice is devoted entirely to the medical and surgical management of retinal conditions.
Retinal diseases — from diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration to retinal detachments and vascular occlusions — represent some of the leading causes of preventable vision loss. Early detection and timely treatment are essential, which is why our practice emphasizes comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and individualized treatment plans.
We work closely with referring optometrists and ophthalmologists across the region, accepting referrals for both urgent and routine retinal care.

Retinal & Macular Diseases
Our practice diagnoses and manages a full spectrum of retinal conditions, from common age-related diseases to complex surgical cases.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Damage to retinal blood vessels caused by diabetes, potentially leading to vision loss if untreated. We offer screening, monitoring, laser treatment, and injectable therapies.
Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Age-related deterioration of the macula affecting central vision. We manage both dry and wet forms with monitoring, nutritional guidance, and intravitreal injections.
Retinal Detachment
A medical emergency where the retina pulls away from underlying tissue. We provide urgent evaluation and surgical repair including vitrectomy and scleral buckle procedures.
Macular Hole
A small break in the macula causing distorted or blurred central vision. Surgical repair through vitrectomy is often successful when performed promptly.
Retinal Vein Occlusion
Blockage of retinal veins causing bleeding and fluid accumulation. Treatment includes anti-VEGF injections and laser therapy to preserve and restore vision.
Epiretinal Membrane
A thin scar tissue layer on the retinal surface that can cause distortion. Surgical removal via vitrectomy may be recommended if vision is significantly affected.
Vitreous Hemorrhage
Bleeding into the vitreous gel, often related to diabetes or retinal tears. We determine the source and provide appropriate treatment including possible surgery.
Diabetic Macular Edema
Fluid buildup in the macula caused by leaking blood vessels in diabetic patients. Anti-VEGF injections and steroid implants are effective treatment options.
