Retinal laser photocoagulation is a specialized procedure used to treat various retinal conditions by applying laser energy to the retina. This treatment is commonly employed to manage diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and certain types of macular degeneration. The laser creates tiny burns in the retina, which helps to seal leaks, reduce swelling, and prevent the growth of abnormal blood vessels. By targeting specific areas of the retina, photocoagulation helps stabilize or improve vision and prevent further deterioration. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and may require multiple sessions depending on the condition being treated. Patients often experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure, with a relatively quick recovery period. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and manage any potential side effects.
