A member asked:
Could i do anything to prevent my lattice degeneration from getting worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Lattice degeneration is usually static. It is not likely to progress. It can be treated and monitored by a retina specialist to ensure that it does not lead to more serious problems of retinal tears or retinal detachments.
