Is retinal laser treatment painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Laser photocoagulation for retinal tears or PRP may cause slight discomfort.

How long does the procedure take?

Laser photocoagulation for retinal tears typically takes 5-15 minutes. PRP may require multiple sessions, each lasting about 30 minutes.

What are the side effects?

Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary dazzling, visual disturbances, or headaches. These usually resolve within 24 hours.

How soon can I return to normal activities?

Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after laser photocoagulation for retinal tears. After PRP, you may need a day or two of rest.

How long do the effects of retinal laser treatment last?

The effects are often permanent. In some cases, repeat treatments to new areas of the retina are required depending on the condition.

Are scans included in the consultation price?

Scans are not included in the initial consultation fee. Two scans are always required, costing £200 each, which brings the total consultation price to £750 (£350 for the consultation + £400 for the scans).
