St. Rose Dominican Hospitals -- Siena Campus announced Monday that it now offers surgery for patients with retina injuries and diseases.
The retina is a multilayered nerve membrane in the inner eyeball that senses light and receives images. It can be damaged by head injuries, infections, age or diabetes.
St. Rose invested $250,000 for the equipment and Retina Consultants of Nevada will perform the outpatient surgeries, which take up to three hours.
