Suggest Remedy For Holes In Retina Causing Flashes

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
Hi. My doctor said that I have holes in my retina. She did a laser to reduce the flashes I get due to these holes and also stabilize the holes. But I am now noticing that the flashes are more frequent and also lasts longer. How can this be a danger?

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having holes in the retina for which laser was done.
You need to get retinal examination done by indirect ophthalmoscopy to confirm whether the laser is complete. If the laser is complete, then there is no need to worry.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
