various retinal lasers

Retinal lasers are specialized tools used by eye doctors to treat various conditions affecting the back of the eye, such as diabetic retinopathy or age-related macular degeneration. Types include laser photocoagulation, which seals leaking blood vessels; focal laser, targeting specific problem areas; and panretinal photocoagulation, treating widespread damage by creating small burns across the retina. These lasers work by delivering precise, controlled light energy to stimulate healing, reduce abnormal blood vessel growth, or prevent further vision loss. Overall, retinal lasers are valuable in preserving or improving vision while being minimally invasive.
