Laser retinopexy is a laser treatment used to treat retinal tears or holes, which can lead to retinal detachment if not addressed. The procedure involves using a laser to create small burns around the tear, which helps to form scar tissue that seals the tear and prevents fluid from getting behind the retina.
Laser retinopexy is typically performed on an outpatient basis, using local anesthesia to numb the eye. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and highly effective in preventing retinal detachment and preserving vision.
Laser retinopexy is commonly used for patients with early signs of retinal tears or holes, providing a quick and reliable solution to prevent further complications.
