According to your history, you should visit a retina specialist early for a thorough retinal examination and you may require laser if there's an active lesion present.

If you are experiencing flases recently then there is chances of retinal tear, if there is chorioretinal coloboma too then it will need laser to seal it, please consult ophthalmologist/retina specialist for further management.
