Retinal Laser Photocoagulation
Retinal Laser Photocoagulation is a precise surgical procedure used to treat various retinal conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions, and retinal tears. The technique involves using a laser to create small burns or coagulation spots on the retina. These spots help seal leaking blood vessels, reduce swelling, or prevent the progression of certain retinal diseases. The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient setting and is aimed at preserving or improving vision by stabilizing retinal conditions. It can be done under local anesthesia, and the patient is usually awake during the procedure.
At Desai Eye Institute, retinal laser photocoagulation is used to treat patients with diabetic retinopathy and other retinal diseases, where it plays a crucial role in preventing further vision loss. The laser targets specific areas of the retina, allowing the surrounding tissue to heal and reducing the risk of vision-threatening complications. Post-procedure care involves follow-up visits to monitor the treated area and ensure healing is progressing. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, though some may experience temporary vision changes or mild inflammation.
