A member asked:
When does lattice degeneration progress to retinal detachment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Lattice degeneration is a condition in which there are atrophic or "thin" areas of the peripheral retina. Occasionally, these areas can tear or form holes. If this occurs , and fluid from the eye goes behind the tear/hole, this can result in a retinal detachment.
