Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Dr. Hussnain is actively accepting new patients at the Saratoga Ophthalmology and EyesNY locations in Malta, Troy, and Clifton Park. Urgent and emergency referrals can often be accommodated the same day.
While a general ophthalmologist manages routine eye health and cataracts, a retina specialist like Dr. Hussnain has completed years of advanced fellowship training focused explicitly on the delicate back part of the eye, treating conditions like torn retinas and macular issues.
Dr. Hussnain specializes in highly technical vitreoretinal micro-surgeries, including repair of retinal detachments, closing macular holes, and removing epiretinal membranes.
He manages these progressive conditions using state-of-the-art medical therapies, including customized intravitreal injections (targeted eye medication) and precision laser treatments to reduce swelling and halt vision loss.
