The retinal surgeon who examined me recommended laser retinopexy for a tiny flap tear on the periphery. When I went back for the laser a different guy was there to do the laser (I found out later he was a retinal "fellow" or student). He told me that he and the surgeon "divide up the patients." He lasered the flap tear but then said he noticed a thin spot and recommended lasering that too. I said OK and he did it. (At the time I figured maybe the first guy just missed the thin spot; I didn't realized the second guy was just a student). So if the surgeon never mentioned the thin spot maybe the laser for that was unnecessary, and the "fellow" was just inexperienced. Should I be worried or not a big deal. This happened a few years ago and so far everything seems OK.
