Specialists in Retinal Laser Treatments

Retinal laser treatment represents one of the most precise and effective modern ophthalmological interventions, using cutting-edge technology to treat various conditions affecting the retina. This non-invasive procedure employs concentrated light beams to treat specific retinal areas with microscopic precision, being particularly effective in treating diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal tears, and other retinal vascular conditions. With success rates ranging from 85% to 95%, depending on the treated condition, retinal laser has established itself as a fundamental therapeutic option in modern ophthalmology, offering lasting results with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

Decision Process

The indication for laser treatment depends on various factors, including the type and extent of the retinal condition, as well as the patient's general health. Detailed evaluation with imaging tests is essential to determine the best approach.

Preparation for the Procedure

Preparation includes a series of specific exams, such as fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundamental for mapping areas requiring treatment. It's important to follow all prior medical guidelines.

The Procedure

Treatment is performed with topical anesthesia in drops, usually lasting between 15 and 30 minutes. Different types of lasers may be used, depending on the specific condition being treated.

Recovery Period

Recovery is generally quick, with return to normal activities the next day. Some patients may experience mild light sensitivity and slightly blurred vision in the first few hours.

Choosing the Specialist

Professional choice is crucial, considering their specific experience with laser treatments and available equipment.
