Ms. s

Can you please inform me about the benefits of one receiving laser treatment for PDR using the contact lense held to the patients’ eye when given vs. not using the contact lense held to the patients’ eye when given?
    

When and under what circumstances would one want to choose the option to have laser treatment without use of the lense held to the patient’s eye?
How long has this option of treatment been around?
What is the success rate in its use as a proven treatment?
How often do Retina Specialists use it?
What is the procedure in giving laser treatment without the contact lense being held to the patients’ eye when given?

Using or not using a contact lens is not a big deal. What is a big deal is having an experiences and capable Eye MD ophthalmologist doing the treatment. Use the technique your MD has the most success and experience with.
