A member asked:
With lattice retinal degeneration, how often should you get retinal exams to find new atrophic holes, etc, to prevent rd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Once per year: Annual exams should be adequate unless you have sudden symptoms of new floaters, flashes of light, veils or curtains in your vision. If any of these develop you should be examined within 48 hours.
