Laser

Your doctor might recommend laser for a variety of eye conditions. It can be used in different ways to treat a retinal tear or hole, swelling in the retina, impaired blood flow, abnormal blood vessels, or fluid under the retina.

Usually you will be sitting as if you are having an eye exam. The eye is numbed with drops and a lens is put on the surface of the eye to allow a view to the back of the eye. The laser is delivered through a machine controlled by the doctor.
