laser photocoagulation

Laser photocoagulation is a medical procedure that uses focused laser light to treat certain eye conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy or retinal tears. The laser creates controlled burns on the retina, sealing or destroying abnormal blood vessels, reducing fluid leakage, or repairing tears to prevent vision loss. The procedure is typically done in a clinic under local anesthesia, and it helps stabilize or improve vision by targeting specific areas of the retina without the need for invasive surgery. Recovery is usually quick, and it can significantly reduce the risk of severe vision impairment.
