Retinal Laser Photocoagulation
Retinal Laser Photocoagulation is a highly effective treatment offered at Desai Eye Hospital for various retinal conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and macular degeneration. This procedure uses a focused laser beam to treat abnormal blood vessels, seal retinal tears, and prevent further damage to the retina.
Retinal Laser Photocoagulation is especially beneficial for patients with conditions that cause fluid leakage, abnormal growth of blood vessels, or damage to the retina. The laser helps to stabilize these conditions, preventing vision loss and promoting healing. This procedure is typically recommended when other treatments, such as medication or injections, are insufficient.
The procedure is quick, safe, and performed under local anesthesia. It does not require an incision and is usually done on an outpatient basis.
At Desai Eye Hospital, our expert ophthalmologists customize the laser treatment to the patient’s specific condition, ensuring the best possible outcomes for maintaining vision and eye health.
How Does It Work?
- A laser beam targets the affected area of the retina.
- The laser creates controlled burns to seal leaking blood vessels or treat retinal tears.
- This prevents abnormal blood vessels and stabilizes retinal conditions.
- The laser reduces fluid buildup in the retina to prevent vision impairment.
- The procedure is done under local anesthesia for comfort.
- It is minimally invasive and usually completed in one session.
- Some discomfort may occur, but recovery is quick.
- Follow-ups monitor healing and ensure retinal stability.
