Image of the month: Coat's Disease. Captured the talented retinal photographer, Frank Flanagin. Coats' disease is a rare, unilateral retinal disorder, typically diagnosed in males between ages 8-16, characterized by abnormal retinal blood vessels which can lead to exudative retinopathy and vision loss. Symptoms include decreased vision, strabismus, and leukocoria, with more severe cases showing exudative retinal detachment. The condition presents with dilated and tortuous retinal blood vessels, exudates, and hemorrhage in the peripheral retina. Staging based on funduscopic features helps monitor progression and guide treatment. Treatment options can range from observation in mild cases to laser treatment, cryotherapy, and anti-VEGF injections in more severe stages. In the most advanced cases, vitreoretinal surgery or enucleation may be indicated if the patient has a painful, blind eye. If left untreated, Coats' disease can lead to retinal detachments, glaucoma, and potential loss of the eye. Early detection and intervention, including thermal laser and cryotherapy, are key to improving patient outcomes. #CoatsDisesase #ophthalmology #retina #ophthalmologist

🎉 Congratulations to Frances Papiernik , our Core Value Ambassador for October! 🎉 Fran has been an integral part of Colorado Retina for nearly 25 years, joining us long before we became the practice we are today. In fact, when Fran first started, it was just Dr. Holmes, Dr. Johnson, and Dr. Kimura—all since retired. Fran began her journey with us in an administrative front desk role, where the team handled everything from scheduling appointments and procedures to insurance verification, patient check-ins, referrals, and more. Today, Fran focuses on scheduling surgeries and specialized testing for our patients, but what has remained constant is her passion for working with people. As she puts it, "I get to work with different people every day—both with our clinical team and patients." Fran appreciates the ongoing learning opportunities at CRA, saying, "I really enjoy the education opportunities, I've learned so much and continue to do so!" We are incredibly grateful for Fran’s dedication, teamwork, and positive attitude. She embodies the Core Values of our practice. Thank you, Fran, for your many years of service and unwavering commitment to our patients and team! 🙌
