What is the procedure that secures the retina?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several: Laser retinopexy is the procedure used to treat holes and tears that are thought to be amendable to this treatment. Pneumo-retinopexy uses intraocular gas to tamponade superior retinal breaks. Retinal detachments are usually treated by surgical techniques involving retinal bands, buckels, sponges, cryoretinopexy, laser photocoagulation, intraocular gas, or silicone oil. All depends on complexity
