A member asked:
Risk of rd in lattice degeneration is 1-2%. what is this risk% when i am high myopic and have lattice degeneration? i am really worried since 2 months
A doctor has provided 1 answer
just a little higher: Probably more like 4-6%. Since this is not in your control, know the symptoms to watch for rd and avoid any risky trauma-inducing situation (like boxing!).
