My surgeon wants to do preventive laser treatment in my right eye where there is lattice degeneration. Cryo, laser, and a gas bubble was put in. Lattice degeneration was the most common peripheral degeneration seen among 42 of the 73 (57.5) eyes followed by retinal holes/tears identified in 17 (23.2) eyes. I had surgery for 2 retinal tears in my left eye about a month ago. More than one treatable peripheral lesion was noted in some eyes. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your physician or 911 immediately. In rare circumstances, some physicians may perform preventive laser therapy or cryotherapy (a type of freezing treatment) to strengthen the peripheral retina in. On retinal examination, 73 of 208 (35.1) eyes showed peripheral retinal lesions. By using this Site you agree to the following Terms and Conditions.
