Argon laser application is widely used in the treatment of retinal diseases.
What is Argon Laser treatment?
If, as a result of retinal examination, veins formed later due to diabetes or microaneurysms leaking into the macula are diagnosed, the payment is made. The area that causes vascularization or the ischemic (dead) retinal area that causes vascularization is closed with argon laser.
With this treatment, vision loss due to edema or bleeding is prevented.
Argon Laser treatment is primarily aimed at preserving the current vision, For this reason, it is important that the patient does not waste time.
Argon Laser is also used in the treatment of retinal tears.
Argon laser creates a burn in the area where it is applied, and adheres the retinal nerve layer to the pigment layer underneath, thus preventing the retina from detaching by leaking fluid around the tear.
