Introduction
Retina laser therapy is an advanced ophthalmologic treatment used to manage and stabilize a variety of retinal diseases by applying precise laser energy to targeted areas of the retina.
The procedure helps seal leaking blood vessels, reduce abnormal vessel growth, and prevent further retinal damage, playing a key role in preserving vision and preventing serious complications.
Retina laser therapy is commonly used for diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, retinal vein occlusion, and selected macular conditions.
