Retinal detachment (retinal tear)
If there is a retinal hole or an area of the retina that appears to be at risk for tears, laser coagulation is used to attach the retina to the choroid around the resulting hole. The resulting heat causes a circumscribed scar around the retinal hole. Within one to two weeks, the scarring is complete and the attachment of the retina to the choroid is stable.
