1. Your surgeon will choose the best treatment for you. It depends on the size and location of the round holes. Our practice uses cryopexy and laser.
2. Lattice often reoccurs, gets larger or other areas develop. Perhaps 8% of the population has lattice. I personally have lattice degeneration but have not had to have it treated.
3. None
4. You need to ask your surgeon that question. Most people return to full acitivities about 4-6 weeks post treatment.
5. Some people have headaches after laser, some patients have headaches when they go to the doctor's office.
6. You would need to consult an ophthalmologist that does LASIK surgery to determine if you are a good candidate. Most refractive surgeons will do LASIK on patients with lattice especially if its been treated.
7. No
8. We don't know
9. That's correct
10. Most of the studies on lattice have been done on occidentals from the Western world.
11. Lattice is more common in myopic eyes and as we get older. You need a yearly eye examination by an Eye MD
