My 14-yr-old daughter who has been wearing specs for the last 3 years was suddenly diagnosed with LATTICE DEGENERATION yesterday. We had gone to the eye specialist for a routine check-up when the doctor suggested why not have a retina examination if we are not in a hurry. Subsequently, after the retina examination, the eye specialist told us that my daughter had lattice degeneration & suggested we go for laser immediately. I refused.
My questions are: 1. Should I be overy worried about my daughter's eye condition? 2. Is laser recommended? 3. If not, what alternative options are available to help cure her eye condition? 4. Will eye exercises further damage her retina leading to retinal detachment? Thanks & regards - Manu Kant
