Dear lalitha17,
Lattice degeneration is a condition in which the peripheral [edge] of the retina shows thinning. A retinal specialist [eyeMD] will be able to evaluate his eyes to determine whether or not treatment is indicated. Please make sure to ask the doctor all of your questions.

A specialist can tell you best if your husband should have this treatment.
Best,
Anna.
