Retinal laser surgery or Photocoagulation is the most popular and effective eye surgery performed to treat various diseases such as a retinal tear, retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and macular edema. The Need for Photocoagulation Patients diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy and macular edema is recommended laser surgery to destroy the leaking blood vessels from the retina. It completely seals the retinal tears and destroys any abnormal structure present on the retina to prevent the reoccurrence of the disease. Laser surgery or retina treatment may not revive a complete vision loss, but it will surely prevent further damage to your eyes. Human eyes contain a lot of pigments such as hemoglobin, xanthophyll, and melanin, responsible for the absorption of laser light. As the pigments absorb the laser light the temperature of the retinal layer increases leading to necrosis and denaturation of the cellular proteins present in your eyes.

At Samarth Eye Care, we recommend retinal treatment surgery mostly for the following conditions: • Ocular tumor treatment • Sickle cell retinopathy, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and venous occlusive diseases • Glaucoma to reduce the production of aqueous humor via ciliary body • To seal microvascular conditions such as perivascular leakage, microaneurysms, and telangiectasia • Premature retinopathy • Retinal detachment and retinal tears • Diabetic retinopathy • Macular edema • Abnormal pigments such as chorioretinopathy • Focal or grid Photocoagulation for branch vein occlusion
Are there any risks associated with Photocoagulation? Like any other surgery, Photocoagulation does have some inherent risks, which can be eliminated if you choose the best board-certified retina and Eye specialist in Mumbai. The complications often occur due to the burning caused by the retinal tissue. The risks include: • Reduced focusing ability • Mild central vision loss • Blind spots • Reduced side vision • Poor night vision • Altered color sensation

Am I An Ideal Candidate for Photocoagulation? The candidature of a patient to undergo retinal surgery is determined after comprehensively analyzing their retinal health. If the patient suffers from the retinal tear, which may result in immediate vision loss, doctors may recommend Photocoagulation treatment or retinal laser surgery.
