Retinal detachment can also be treated with laser therapy.

Retinal detachment is a common eye disease and a type of fundus disease. It is usually caused by eye trauma, or the development of dry breaks or degenerative areas in the peripheral retina.

Patients with retinal detachment experience symptoms such as shadows obstructing parts of their vision, distorted vision, and decreased visual acuity. If the area of detachment is small, it can be treated with laser therapy to seal off the detached area, thereby preventing the condition from worsening.

If the area of retinal detachment is large, it cannot be cured with laser therapy alone. Surgical treatment is needed to reposition the retina, and during surgery, laser treatment is also necessary to seal the tears or deformed areas on the retina to prevent recurrence of the detachment.
