What Retinal Pathology Co Management Means
Dr. Roxanna Gangi provides retinal assessment, referral coordination, and follow up support for patients with diabetic eye disease, macular changes, flashes, floaters, retinal concerns, or unexplained vision changes. Her background as a former ophthalmologist and eye surgeon in Iran helps her recognize when retinal findings need closer attention and when referral should not be delayed.
Retinal pathology co management means Dr. Roxanna Gangi assesses retinal health, identifies concerning findings, coordinates referral to a retinal specialist when needed, and supports ongoing monitoring after specialist care.
Symptoms That Should Not Be Ignored
Patients should book an eye examination promptly if they notice:
- New flashes
- New floaters
- A curtain or shadow in vision
- Sudden blurry vision
- Distortion or wavy lines
- Missing spots in vision
- Sudden change in central vision
Diabetic Retinopathy and Macular Disease
Diabetes and macular disease can affect the retina quietly before major symptoms appear. Regular eye exams help detect changes earlier and allow referral when treatment or specialist monitoring is needed. Patients with diabetes are screened during their annual diabetic eye exam, and patients can monitor central vision at home using the Amsler grid test.
Dr. Roxanna Gangi helps patients understand their retinal findings and the importance of follow up.

Frequently asked questions
When are flashes and floaters urgent?
New or sudden flashes and floaters should be evaluated promptly to rule out a retinal tear or detachment. Many causes are not serious, but timely assessment is important.
What is diabetic retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels of the retina. It can develop quietly before vision changes appear, which is why annual diabetic eye exams are recommended.
What is macular degeneration?
Macular degeneration affects the central area of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It is one of the leading causes of vision change in adults over 60.
Can retinal problems be treated?
Many retinal conditions can be treated or stabilized, especially when detected early. Treatment may include monitoring, injections, laser, or surgery depending on the diagnosis.
When do I need a retinal specialist?
A retinal specialist may be needed when findings suggest retinal disease that requires injections, laser, or surgical care. Dr. Roxanna Gangi helps determine when referral is appropriate.
Can Dr. Roxanna Gangi coordinate retinal referral?
Yes. When specialist retinal care is needed, Dr. Roxanna Gangi can coordinate referral to a retinal specialist and continue your optometric follow up afterward.
