Is barrage laser required for lattice?

2020-01-17 09:09:12
I'm planning for a contoura lasik surgery, so I've got mixed opinion for the barrage laser. Initially the first doctor told me to go for barrage before my lasik but when I had a second opinion from one of a big reputed doctor, he told me that there is absolutely no need for the barrage treatment as my retina is only stretched (lattice) and has no holes. I'm confused what to do now.

Hello Both opinions are okay. Lattice alone does not warrant laser but it is better to get barrage laser done before planning lasik
