FAQs
What is pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP)?
PRP is a laser treatment that targets the peripheral retina to reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and prevent bleeding or detachment, commonly used for diabetic retinopathy.
Is the PRP procedure painful?
Most patients feel mild discomfort during the procedure, but it is generally well tolerated and performed under local anesthesia to minimize any pain.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on your condition, but typically, PRP can be completed in one to three visits.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Some patients may experience temporary vision changes or mild eye irritation after PRP, but serious complications are rare when performed by experienced specialists like those at Leder Retina.
How soon will I see results after PRP?
PRP helps slow or stop disease progression rather than immediately improving vision. Regular follow-ups help track the treatment’s effectiveness.
