Service Overview
Retinal lasers use a focused light beam to treat the back of the eye. The heat seals leaking vessels, fences off weak areas in diabetic retinopathy, and welds the retina around a tear so it does not progress to detachment. Most sessions are done in the clinic with anaesthetic drops — no overnight stay.
What It Covers
Focal / grid laser
Targets leaking spots in diabetic macular oedema when suitable.
Barrage laser for tears
Creates a weld around a retinal hole or tear to prevent detachment.
Vascular lesions
Selected vein occlusions and other leaking retinal conditions.
Who It Is For
Diabetic retinopathy
Patients with new vessels, bleeding, or leaking that needs laser control.
Flashes and floaters
People found to have a retinal tear on dilated exam.
Selected vein occlusions
When laser can reduce swelling or abnormal vessel growth.
How It Works
Dilated retina exam
OCT and clinical mapping show where laser spots are needed.
Numbing drops and contact lens
A lens steadies the eye while brief laser pulses are applied.
Aftercare
Mild ache or light sensitivity can last a day; follow-up confirms the seal.
Why Choose Our Laser Suite
Retinal lasers are planned by vitreoretinal surgeons using OCT and fundus findings — not as a one-size protocol. That keeps treatment focused on the leaking or torn areas while protecting as much healthy retina as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is retinal laser painful?
Most people feel pressure or brief pinpricks. Drops numb the surface; extra comfort measures are used if the session is longer.
Will laser improve my vision immediately?
Laser is mainly to protect remaining sight and prevent worsening. Vision may stay similar at first, then stabilise over weeks.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. Arrange someone to accompany you if your pupils are dilated and you prefer not to drive.
