Medical Description

Comprehensive Clinical Overview

Calibrated green laser pulses are directed through a specialized contact lens onto ischemic peripheral retina or around retinal tears. Heat creates tiny burns that weld the tear to the eyewall and cause abnormal bleeding vessels to regress.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

Diabetics with new abnormal blood vessels (PDR) or patients with fresh retinal tears to prevent full retinal detachment.

Why Choose The Eyes for this Procedure:

Prevents catastrophic retinal detachment when applied promptly around tears
Reduces risk of severe diabetic blindness by over 90%
In-office procedure requiring zero hospital admission or stitches

Common Symptoms & Clinical Indications

Patients suffering from these visual or physical complaints are typically recommended for this intervention:

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Peripheral retinal tear / lattice degeneration
Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO)
Flashes of light signaling acute tear
All cases are evaluated through objective high-resolution slit-lamp and digital scan diagnostics.
