A member asked:
What is indirect ophthalmoscope laser for a retina tear along the periphery of the eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Repair of Retina: Often a retinal tear can be repaired by laser. This is the safest, gentlest, most comfortable approach with the quickest recovery. Using an indirect ophthalmoscope simply means that your eye surgeon will use special headgear and a handheld lens to see into the periphery of your eye and use a foot pedal control to deliver the laser pulses. Good luck.

Hi doctors. My opthalmologist saw 2 peripheral horseshoe tears in my right eye. He sent me to a retina specialist who also saw the 2 horseshoe tears. Both doctors want to take a watch & observe approach, and not do laser. Why would they not do laser?
