What is it?
Laser spots around the tear create a scar that seals the retina to the wall of the eye. The seal becomes strong in about two weeks.
Lattice degeneration (thin patches) is lasered when it carries a high risk, for example in the other eye of someone who had a detachment.
Who needs it
- Fresh retinal tear found after new floaters or flashes
- High-risk lattice degeneration
- Before cataract surgery in high-risk myopic eyes
A fresh tear should be lasered within a day or two.
