We use the most advanced technology available to provide the best possible care, from diagnosis to surgery. We can measure blood flow to the eye using optical coherence tomography angiography, which is extremely accurate and less invasive than other methods. Our intra-arterial treatments reduce the need for radiation and chemotherapy. And we are one of the first centers in Tennessee to offer the Iluvien implant to patients with diabetic retinopathy.
