2024年5月21日 · Laser surgery offers several benefits for patients with lattice degeneration, including improved vision, reduced risk of retinal detachment, minimal pain and discomfort, and shorter recovery time compared to traditional treatments.

2024年7月17日 · The main procedure to treat lattice degeneration and prevent retinal complications is laser retinopexy. It uses a laser beam to create tiny scarring patterns on your retina. Those scar patterns reinforce the weakened tissue.

Laser photocoagulation is the preferred treatment for lattice lesions at risk for retinal tears/detachment. Based on the risk for future tears or detachments, practitioners may decide to treat with other modalities such as cryotherapy or scleral buckling depending on their assessment of retinal detachment risk.

2024年10月31日 · In rare cases, your ophthalmologist may treat you with a laser or cryotherapy (freezing treatment). This strengthens the weakest part of the thinning retina. This hopefully keeps it from tearing or detaching. If you do get a retinal tear or detachment, your ophthalmologist will use a laser or other surgery to seal the retina back into place.

2024年5月21日 · Laser photocoagulation surgery involves using a laser to create small burns on the retina, which helps to seal any weak areas and reduce the risk of retinal tears or detachment. Laser photocoagulation surgery is typically performed as …

2024年8月1日 · Laser treatment, also known as photocoagulation, is a common approach for managing peripheral retinal degenerations and reducing the risk of retinal tears and detachments.

Therefore, your eye care specialist recommends a treatment to decrease the risk of developing a retinal detachment in the future. The in-office laser procedure is called laser retinopexy. Laser is used to form scar tissue around the edges of lattice degeneration and atrophic holes.

2024年10月22日 · The vast majority of people with lattice degeneration don’t require treatment. However, routine eye exams will assist with managing the condition should it worsen. In rare cases, an eye doctor may recommend preventive treatment to …

2021年7月26日 · Laser photocoagulation is the primary method of prophylactic treatment. Recommended laser settings include the following: green, yellow, or red wavelengths via biomicroscope/contact lens or...

In those who do develop a retinal tear or detachment, treatment will be performed, typically by a retina specialist. This treatment can range from a laser treatment completed in the office to surgery in the operating room, depending on the severity of the condition.
