A member asked:
I have lattice degeneration with atrophic holes, which do not require treatment. i am always worried about retinal detachment. how likely is this and is there a need to worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The vast majority of patients with lattice degeneration do well and don't experience complications. I'd continue your checkups with the retina specialist and I'm sure you'll be reassured.
