Hello, WWOP per se may not need a barrage LASER. But since a cataract surgery is being planned, some practioners advocate a prophylactic LASER as a fail safe. Modern day cataract surgeries are extremely safe procedures, so the decision to perform a barrage LASER rests with the doctor pertaining to your case
Next Steps
Please discuss with your ophthalmologist on what she/he would prefer to do and take a comprehensive decision on the treatment.
Health Tips
Watch out for signs of retinal detachment and thinning such as SUDDEN increase in floaters, flashes of lights etc
