Many Retinal conditions are amenable to treatment by laser applications. Until recently, this was the only treatment option too.
Presently, technological advances in medicine has provided us injections which are useful in conditions where laser couldn't be applied and few more conditions too.
Common conditions where the above non surgical modalities find use include:
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Retinal vascular disorders
- Retinal breaks
- Retinopathy of prematurity
- As ancillary treatment in Vitreo Retinal surgeries.
