Green laser is used for many retinal problems in eyes. It helps in young patients to treat for weak areas in retina, while in older patients to save the blood supply in good retina. Its use is essentially safe, though complications are known if use is extensive. Usually it's used in lesser amounts and is very safe.

Relax and not worry. Trust your eye doctor...
