It is safe to undergo laser for lattices. It is required to seal the weak retina and the retinal holes to prevent the detachment of retina. Do not delay last treatment. Get it done as soon as possible.

No issues with laser. In fact without it u are more prone for retinal detachment. Once detachment happens u need surgery. So to avoid that... U should go for laser. It's completely safe and prophylactic.
