Does EVERY lattice require barrage laser?

 

 

No. If a person has only lattices without holes in the retina, we can simply observe these once a year. This is commonly seen in myopic children. Every child does not need to undergo barrage laser. Another reason is children need a short general anesthesia to undergo the procedure as they cannot cooperate for laser. Older children can undergo barrage laser of these lattices have associated retinal holes.
