Lattice deneration simpton.
by Carl_Mendez, Jan 30, 2009 11:00AM
Hi again. I already made a post about some weird spot that looked like looking thru water or something (bright trasluscent blob) in the corner of my right eye above the lacrimal gland only when blinking. I went to an md doctor who didn't see anything but told me that with the instruments she used she coudn't see the peripheral of the retina.
I then went to a retinologist who did a really long exam with different lenses, he said everything on the outer part of the eye and the central retina was right indeed but that I had lattice degeneration on some parts of the eye. He made a drawing of my lattice and I was impressed because the bigger lattice of the drawing matched exactly where I'm seeing the bright blob when blinking, he said lattice could be due to traction that made me see that. I just thought the flahses from traction were different.
My question is, is my symptom from lattice with traction?, he said it was not an operation at all but using laser in a 15 minutes procedure. Is as safe as he is making it sounds?. I have many floaters and 3.5 of myopia and 30 years old. What consequences does the procedure has?
Thanks again.

The indication for treatment of lattice degeneration is an association with an acute retinal tear. The main complication of treatment of an acute retinal tear is macular pucker and retinal detachment, about 5 %.
Get another opinion.

My lattice is on the very outer border of the retina, is still a risk of messing up with the macula causing a pucker?
Thanks again.
