Best's Disease
Best’s disease, also known as Best’s vitelliform macular dystrophy, is a hereditary (usually) form of progressive macular dystrophy.
Dr. Rosenfarb has successfully treated thousands of patients with a wide range of eye conditions using natural, holistic approaches. Explore the comprehensive list of conditions we specialize in treating.
Best’s disease, also known as Best’s vitelliform macular dystrophy, is a hereditary (usually) form of progressive macular dystrophy.
Central serous retinopathy is a condition that causes fluid to leak from the choroid layer into the macula, causing blurring or distortion of central vision.
Macular degeneration erodes the macula and central vision, but it’s often a sign of broader circulation, inflammation, and energy imbalances.
Macular dystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that slowly damages the macula, the eye's center for sharp vision, resulting in progressive central vision loss.
Macular edema, also called cystoid macular edema, is swelling in the retina’s center that blurs detail; our goal is early detection & integrative care to help protect sight.
Macular pucker (epiretinal membrane) is a thin scar layer on the macula that contracts, wrinkling the retina and blurring or distorting central vision.
Myopic degeneration is severe nearsightedness that stretches and thins eye tissues, causing progressive vision loss and higher retinal detachment risk.
Pattern dystrophy is an inherited retinal disorder in which pigment collects in distinctive macular patterns, slowly causing central vision to blur.
Wet macular degeneration arises when abnormal retinal blood vessels leak beneath the macula, causing rapid distortion and loss of central vision.
Cataracts are progressive clouding of the eye’s natural lens that can blur vision and glare.
Fuchs corneal dystrophy causes gradual corneal cell loss that can swell and cloud your cornea.
Diabetic retinopathy develops when high blood sugar damages retinal blood vessels, causing blurry vision, floaters, and potentially permanent vision loss.
NAION and retinal occlusion (eye stroke) both cut off blood flow to the eye — one to the optic nerve, the other to the retina. Both demand urgent integrative care to protect and restore vision.
Retinal detachment is a medical emergency in which the light-sensitive retina peels away from the eye's back wall, triggering sudden flashes, floaters, and rapid vision loss.
A retinal tear is a small rupture in the eye’s retina that can trigger sudden flashes or floaters and may progress to detachment if untreated.
Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited retinal disorder that gradually destroys photoreceptor cells, leading to night blindness and progressive tunnel vision.
Miscellaneous, generally milder issues grouped by common symptoms (e.g., dryness, irritation) rather than a single structure.
Dry eye disease is a common condition where inadequate or poor-quality tears leave the eyes feeling gritty, burning, and watery, potentially blurring vision and harming the cornea.
An eye stye is a painful eyelid bump from bacteria in a blocked oil gland, causing swelling, tearing and discomfort that often clears with warm compresses and proper hygiene.
Light sensitivity, or photophobia, is a condition where normal light causes discomfort or pain in the eyes, often linked to underlying eye, neurological, or systemic issues.
Eye floaters are tiny drifting shapes caused by age-related changes in the eye’s vitreous gel, and while usually harmless they can sometimes signal retinal danger.
Vitreous detachment is a common eye condition that occurs when the vitreous gel, the clear jelly-like substance in the eye, separates from the retina.
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases in which elevated eye pressure damages the optic nerve, silently stealing peripheral vision and potentially leading to blindness.
Optic nerve atrophy limits the optic nerve’s ability to relay visual signals, leading to progressive vision loss.
Optic neuritis is an immune-driven inflammation of the optic nerve that can cause sudden vision loss, eye pain, and color desaturation, yet many people recover well with timely, integrative care.
Inherited eye disorders, often tied to broader systemic syndromes, that can affect multiple tissues and organs.
Lattice degeneration is thinning of the retina’s outer edge marked by crisscross white lines; usually symptom-free but can create holes or tears that raise detachment risk.
Rod-cone dystrophy is a genetic condition that causes progressive vision loss, often starting in childhood.
Stargardt syndrome is an inherited juvenile macular degeneration caused by gene mutations, leading to gradual central vision loss.
Usher syndrome combines inherited hearing loss with progressive night and peripheral vision decline from retinitis pigmentosa, often accompanied by balance problems.
Ocular rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder that irritates the eyelids and eye surface, and it is closely linked to the skin form of rosacea.
Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune attack on tear glands, causing chronic dry, gritty eyes, fluctuating blur and redness.
Uveitis is inflammation inside the eye’s middle layer that can cause redness, pain, and blurred vision, potentially leading to permanent damage without prompt care.
