Why did the resident keep asking if i had cryo if i told him i had laser on retina?

Same type of scar: The scars from cryo and laser can look similar. The laser scars are usually multiple spots whereas the cryo scar is a larger confluent area. If the laser was applied in a tight pattern it may resemble a cryo scar.
