Football season is one of the most exciting times of year in Mississippi, but it also brings an increased risk of sports-related eye injuries. While many bumps and bruises heal with time, an injury involving the eye should never be ignored. Learn the warning signs of a serious eye injury and when it’s time to see a retina specialist.

Mississippi Retina Associates now offers patient appointments one Saturday each month, providing greater flexibility for busy schedules while delivering expert retinal care.

Many retinal diseases begin long before patients notice changes in their vision. Thanks to advances in retinal imaging technology, eye specialists can detect subtle changes earlier than ever before, allowing for timely diagnosis, more personalized treatment plans, and better opportunities to preserve sight.

Receiving a referral to a retina specialist doesn’t always mean something is seriously wrong with your vision. In many cases, your eye doctor simply wants a closer look at the retina using specialized expertise and advanced diagnostic technology. Learn why patients are referred to retina specialists and what you can expect from your visit.
