For those who might need special treatment for Macular Degeneration or some other Ophthalmologic treatment, Dr. Lomeo and Midwest Retina would be the place to go. Although it is really painful to me to watch my wife get an injection in her eye, even though it is numbed, it looks like it would be the most painful thing imaginable for her to experience. Understandably the patient must be awake to receive treatment, but I watch this happen each visit and still cringe as the needle gets closer to her eye. Mark D. Lomeo and Midwest Retina, located on east off of W. Broad St. and downtown in the Arena district at 262 Neil Ave., third floor is one of the best you can find in this field. He and his staff are wonderful at putting patients at their ease and make an otherwise anxious visit a little more palatable. As you enter the office, the professionalism and caring atmosphere are very evident. They are aware, whether this is your first appointment or you’ve been coming for a long time, I see how they warmly welcome the patient and family member with them. As you might imagine, it is important for the patient to bring someone with them so that the fully sighted person can drive home. So, I would hope that you never need such services. But since Macular Degeneration is genetic you might know someone or you yourself might need the professional services of such a doctor and facility.
