I would get the opinion of two board-certified ophthalmologist who are fellowship trained in vitreo-retinal surgery. Everything depends on your individual factors and characteristics as to whether you are a candidate and how effective it would be.

My left eye detached and did not take re-attachement well. So I urged my doctor to do SOMETHING to protect my right eye. He 360 lasered it Is this the same as cerclage.
In my case, I think it is a good solution. Like the doctor says, it must depend on the case.
Is this the same as cerclage?
L ALREADY HAD A DETACHMENT IN BOTH EYES.oNE 10 YEARS AGO REPAIRED WITH A BUCKLE AND THE OTHER ONE 6 WEEKS AGO REPAIRED BY LASER. mY QUESTION:IS THE CERCLAGE AN OPTION FOR PREVENTING MORE DETACHMENTS
