What is retinal Laser Treatment (Photocoagulation)?
Retinal laser (photocoagulation) works by placing small, controlled laser spots on the retina to create scars in the tissue. In a retinal tear, sealing around the tear lowers the risk of it progressing to a detachment. In the advanced (proliferative) stage of diabetic retinopathy and in retinal vein occlusions, widespread laser to the outer parts of the retina makes abnormal vessels regress and lowers the risk of bleeding inside the eye and detachment. The treatment is given through a special lens after the pupil has been dilated and the eye numbed with drops. YAG laser, used when the membrane behind the lens becomes cloudy after cataract surgery, is a separate procedure with a different purpose.
