Treatment

At Laser Vision Centre, treatment is performed via Argon laser (laser seals the blood vessels and stops them from leaking and growing) OR via intra-vitreal injections, depending upon the severity of the condition. The procedure takes 30 minutes per session, and the recovery period is up to 4 months.
