Lasers can be used for a wide variety of treatments in the eye. A laser can be used to change the shape of the cornea, create a therapeutic channel or hole in the iris, widen the eye's drainage structures (trabecular meshwork) to lower eye pressure, remove scar tissue from the back surface of a lens implant in the eye, prevent a hole or tear in the retina from extending, and to control diabetic retinopathy in the back of the eye. If you have any questions regarding your particular diagnosis and treatment options, certainly check in with your local Ophthalmologist, you ask an excellent question.
