Request a call back
Tell us who you are and what you are asking about. Someone from the clinic calls you back within one business day.
Who this is for
People diagnosed with a central retinal artery occlusion, usually within the first day.
What oxygen does
The retina dies fast without oxygen. Pressurized oxygen can keep it alive through the eye's other vessels while the blockage clears.
What a course looks like
This is an emergency. If you have not been seen yet, go to an emergency room. If an eye doctor sends you to us, we treat the same day.
This is an approved use of hyperbaric oxygen under Medicare and UHMS guidelines. Whether it is right for you is a decision made with our physician and yours.
Treated at both clinics: Great Neck and Massapequa Park.
