Headaches
Arthritis
Uveitis can be caused by internal or external conditions ranging from autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and sarcoidosis as well as bacterial, viral or fungal infections. If an underlying disease is suspected to be responsible for the inflammation, a medical workup may be initiated in order to isolate the cause. In many cases a cause cannot be identified despite a thorough investigation.
Cryotherapy
Retinal tears are treated with laser surgery or cryotherapy which seal the retina and prevent it from detaching. If a retinal detachment is present a more complex surgical procedure is required to repair and reposition the retina. Depending on the clinical findings, your doctor may recommend a pneumatic retinopexy, a scleral buckling procedure or a vitrectomy. Most surgical repairs are successful but visual recovery may take months. In some cases only partial vision is restored. Retinal detachments occur that cannot be repaired in which case visual loss is permanent.
Primary Care
Appointment times vary by office location but are generally available from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. New patient consultations should be arranged through your primary eye doctor, with the approval of your primary care physician if required by your insurance. Because our practice specializes in treating diseases and disorders of the retina, we do not prescribe glasses or contact lenses.
Family Practice
High Cholesterol

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Certain diseases can increase the risk of developing a retinal vein occlusion. These include diabetes, high blood pressure, certain blood disorders, atherosclerosis and glaucoma. There is a ten percent risk that a vein occlusion will occur in the second eye of a previously affected individual.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Shah, a native of New Jersey, graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania and received his medcal degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey – Robert Wood Johnson Medical School where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the Cullen Eye Institute of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and his vitreoretinal disease and surgery fellowship at The Eye Institute of the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Dr. Shah joined Delaware Valley Retina Associates in 2004.
Macular Degeneration
One of the original studies using Ranibizumab (Lucentis) for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Dosages of the drug were either 0.3mg or 0.5mg.
Cataracts
There are many conditions associated with CME, including vascular disorders (retinal vein occlusion and diabetes), inflammatory conditions (uveitis), mechanical causes (surgery and trauma), and pharmacological causes (medication side effects). CME occurs after a small percentage of cataract surgeries. If it occurs in one eye, there is an increased risk that it will occur in the other eye.
Eye Exam
The normal aging process is the most common cause of a posterior vitreous detachment. Other causes are nearsightedness, history of inflammatory eye disorders, or history of intraocular surgery. Migraine headaches may cause flashes, known as a migraine aura, but can be differentiated from a vitreous detachment during a thorough eye examination.

Multiple Sclerosis

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
People with diabetes mellitus can develop damage to retinal blood vessels due to high blood sugar levels. This is referred to as diabetic retinopathy. The damage can be categorized into two types: the early stage known as nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy and the more advanced stage known as proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Ultrasound
Your physician will then perform a thorough ophthalmological and vitreoretinal examination. If necessary, additional diagnostic testing will be performed. This may include retinal photography, fluorescein angiography, and/or ocular ultrasound.
