A member asked:
A 12-year-old child who has had balanced myopia (-4) for 7 years. during a routine check (fundus) the ophthalmologist notes lesions in the retina (frost patch) and he indicates a retinopexy. i want to know if this retinopexy does have risques?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There may be areas of retinal detachment. Was there trauma to the eye? Is he otherwise healthy? The procedure is performed by an Opthalmologist. It is advisable to discuss the benefits of the procedure and possible risks with the surgeon. A photo of the retina makes a second opinion possible during a virtual consult with another Opthalmologist.
