Lattice Degeneration
by deepa07, Sep 29, 2009 09:25PM
Wanted to get Lasik done, but on visit to eye doctor I found out that I have lattice degeneration on my left eye while my right eye is perfectly fine. Dr. suggested that I should get laser done and lasik can be followed in month or so. My question if I get my laser done are there any chances in future for any more tears in retina? If I don't go for laser will there be any future retina or any other eye related problems?? Thanks for your help.

I have lattice. It occurs in about 7-8% of people. Treatment is usuallynot needed but in high myopia, before LASIK, after trauma, or lattice with big holes laser and/or freezing treatment is often indicated.
Lasik can cause retinal breaks in lattice which could cause a retinal detachment.
Even if these areas are closed other areas of lattice can develop.
Most people the lattice doesn't cause any problems and I see it virtually every day in clinic
