By Valley News Live StaffGRAND FORKS, N.D. (Valley News Live)— North Dakota Eye Clinic (NDEC) announced today that it will begin offering in-office injections for retinal disease (intravitreal injections) locally starting in September, providing continuity of care for patients affected by the closure of eye services at Altru Health System.
