At South Bay Retina, we distinguish our services from other medical practices by not only addressing the immediate needs of our patients but also the root cause(s) of disease. The appearance of retinal vessels, the function of the optic nerve, and other metrics provide insights into cardiovascular and neurologic status. As an integrative eye care clinic, we identify dysfunction before there are permanent changes leading to structural damage and visual decline.
Dr. Keshav Narain established South Bay Retina in 2000 and offers ocular care at two clinics located in San Jose and Gilroy. Dr. Narain uses a unique integrative approach to not only diagnose and treat, but to slow and reverse ocular diseases processes involving the retina and optic nerve. He has been recognized as an accomplished ophthalmologist in vitreoretinal disease and surgery and is a key leader and pioneer in integrative eye care.
Our integrative approach to glaucoma treatment includes traditional measures of eye pressure and nerve structure. However, we add next-generation functional testing such as electrophysiology (VEP and ERG), advanced microperimetry with gaze tracking, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for nerve, macula, and blood flow analysis. No other clinic provides such a comprehensive array of tests to make the diagnosis and follow treatment responses. With this superior capability, we can differentiate between conditions of the nerve and those of the retina.
An intravitreal injection allows Dr. Narain to place medication directly into the vitreous cavity (the space in the back of the eye). These injections are used to treat a variety of retinal conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, endophthalmitis, retinitis, and more.
