Can Barrage Laser itself cause retina holes/tears or lead to retinal detachment after few months or years of treatment?
I have been diagnosed with a minor retina hole in my left eye and have been suggested for laser barrage . Will it be safe as I gathered some information that , although chances are low, it can actually lead to retinal detachment itself in future post-treatment.

If you have a retinal hole, kindly undergo barrage laser as suggested by your doctor, to prevent retinal detachment.
