Lattice degeneration occurs in approximately 6–8% of the general population and in approximately 30% of phakic retinal detachments. [1] Similar lesions are seen in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, and Stickler syndrome, all of which are associated with an increased risk of retinal detachment. Risk of developing lattice ...
We still lack knowledge of mental processes at the cellular level. The link between neuronal activity and mental processes is still an intriguing research question and a problem in treatment targeting. Therefore, no one can be sure whether the laser beam only reaches the neuronal structures in the brain that need treatment.
[13] [14] Results of using laser coagulation to treat diabetic retinopathy were first published in 1954. [2] [15] Conventional macular focal and grid laser photocoagulation were established as the treatment of choice for diabetic macular edema in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS), which was published in 1985.

Three scanners deliver laser light to the retina in multi-spot patterns by controlling the x-position (X), y-position(Y) and fiber selection(F) for the placement and size of the laser beam. The use of a FPGA from National Instruments enables fast scanning speed and a short response time of 4 microseconds for critical measurements and controlled ...
[1] [2] [3] It may start in a small area, but without quick treatment, it can spread across the entire retina, leading to serious vision loss and possibly blindness. [4] Retinal detachment is a medical emergency that requires surgery. [2] [3] The retina is a thin layer at the back of the eye that processes visual information and sends it to the ...
Health officials in Europe are investigating Ozempic and the trendy drug’s possible link to an eye-rotting condition that causes blindness. On Dec. 17, the European Medicines Agency announced ...
Recovery from the condition can take up to 18 months, the National Institute of Health says, but so far, Tarver — who has had multiple rounds of treatment — “has not yet shown improvement.”
Early lattice and recurrent lattice arising in the donor cornea responds well to treatment with the excimer laser. Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) using [Excimer laser] can restore and preserve useful visual function for a significant period of time in patients with anterior corneal dystrophies. [3]
