What is Retinal Laser Surgery?

Laser retina surgery can treat a variety of eye conditions in a less invasive way than traditional eye surgeries, such as a scleral buckling for retinal detachment and tears. Laser retina surgery can lead to more precise and efficient treatments. Pacific Retina Specialists offers the following laser retina treatments:

Benefits of Laser Retina Surgery

Compared to scalpels and other traditional surgical tools, lasers reduce the risk of ocular damage during surgery and provide the following benefits to patients:

Improved Vision

The greatest benefit of laser retina surgery is an improvement in vision. A vitrectomy can help the doctor accurately perform retinal treatments, such as repairing retinal detachment and tears, to improve vision clarity and health.

Stitch Free

Traditional surgical treatments often use stitches and silicone on the eye to repair retinal tears, detachment, and conditions in the affected area. Laser surgery can secure the treated tissues of the eye without the use of stitches.

Precise Treatment

Lasers can help the surgeon perform the desired retina procedure more precisely and efficiently. Lasers make ophthalmology treatment quicker than traditional retinal treatments.

Virtually Painless

Numbing eye drops are administered before beginning laser retina surgery. These eye drops and lasers make the retinal procedure virtually pain-free.

"(Vitrectomies) involve little or no pain and require only minimal anesthesia."

The Laser Surgery Process Treating Retina Conditions

The first step to treating a retinal condition is diagnosing it. If you've noticed floaters or any changes in your vision, come into one of our Beverly Hills area offices for a consultation.

Examining the Eye

To diagnose your condition, Dr. Parks will start by examining your eye. We will likely need to dilate your eye with eye drops to view your retina. Your eye doctor will then use a light to examine your retina and see if a laser vitrectomy is right for you.

Relaxing With Anesthesia

While a vitrectomy is a painless procedure, thanks to local anesthesia, patients are awake throughout treatment. The doctor can give you a sedative to calm your nerves during the duration of the procedure.

Reaching the Vitreous

Dr. Parks begins the procedure by making three small incisions into the white part of your eye, otherwise known as the sclera.

Removing the Vitreous

Next, state-of-the-art equipment removes the vitreous gel and any other matter within the eye, such as blood. The vitreous is then replaced with a salt solution.

Repairing the Eye

Dr. Parks will examine the eye and use laser equipment to repair the critical structures within. At this time, the surgeon can repair your retinal tear, retinal detachment, macular hole, or any retinal condition you have. No stitches are needed after the vitrectomy, as the scar tissue created by the laser essentially welds the retina and other tissues back together.
