About Retinal Lasers
Retinal laser treatment is an advanced therapeutic procedure used to manage various retinal disorders such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, retinal vein occlusion, and certain macular conditions. The laser works by sealing leaking blood vessels, preventing abnormal vessel growth, or securing retinal tears to prevent detachment.
This treatment helps stabilize vision and prevent further progression of retinal disease.
Procedure
The procedure begins with a detailed retinal examination. Dilating drops are administered to widen the pupils for better access to the retina.
During the treatment, a specialized laser is precisely directed onto the affected retinal areas. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis and may cause mild discomfort but is generally well tolerated.
Post-procedure care includes prescribed medications and follow-up visits to monitor retinal stability.
