The laser is an indispensable assistant to the surgeon, a bloodless scalpel, necessary in many operations.. It is able not only to evaporate tissues, make minimal incisions, but also “solder” damaged areas.. Doctors told who and why such an operation is needed, according to the online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net The retina is the inner lining of the eye, a thin layer of nerve tissue. When the retina becomes thinner or exfoliates, a laser comes to the rescue, laser coagulation of the retina. During the operation, the laser heats up the tissues, the protein breaks down and forms “glues”, soldering thin areas. The operation is performed under local anesthesia and lasts only 15-20 minutes.. The patient does not require hospitalization, immediately after the operation the doctor examines him, writes out recommendations and lets him go home.

Strengthening the retina with a laser improves the blood supply to the eye and prevents fluid from entering under the retina and detachment. If nothing is done in time, problem areas can grow. Micro-tears appear on them, which provokes retinal detachment.

How to understand that it is time to strengthen the retina? Most often, laser coagulation is prescribed for the following indications:.

High myopia. With myopia, the risk of retinal detachment increases, the retina exfoliates and becomes thinner.

Pregnancy. Very serious stress on the body. If a woman has a thinned retina, she is prescribed laser strengthening. To prevent possible risks during childbirth.

Diabetes. In especially severe and late cases, a situation arises in which blood circulates incorrectly in the retina, the walls of the capillaries swell, vision drops sharply.

retinopathy. Retinal damage caused by damage to the vessels of the eye.

Thrombosis of the vessels of the eye. When the disease occurs, blockage of the central vessel of the retina and its branches with blood clots, which leads to an increase in pressure inside the eye.

retinal tear. Under the influence of physical stress or injury.

Senile retinal dystrophy.

With age in the structure of the retina there are disorders associated with a slowdown in the metabolism of eye tissues, impaired blood supply.

Retinal detachment. May occur with retinal tear. With this disease, the retina is separated from the vascular, its nutrition is disturbed, vision begins to deteriorate up to complete blindness.

Even if you do not fit any of the indications, do not forget about preventive diagnostics! A disease diagnosed in time is much easier and faster to cure..
