Eye flashes after Barrage Laser Treatment , I'll document my experience here.

Hey. Hope you're fine now. I've been diagnosed with inferior retinal detachment in left eye on 13th may. and lattice in both. I went for a routine check up. Had no symptoms. Bilateral prophylactic laser barrage done. I was seeing flashes the first day after the procedure. consulted the doctor and she said everything looks fine on examination. I went again yesterday.

I've a query. I'm seeing floaters. I was used to them before the diagnosis. Am I being conscious about them that's why they seem to be more than before or should I call the doctor again?

Hello. came across this post while searching for barrage laser side effects. there are a lot of people on quora who mention near vision loss post barrage laser treatment. can someone else confirm what happens ?

iam 22 yrs, i too having the same symptom of yours. Its been only 6 days . I did my barrage laser for both eyes for retinal hole. After reading your forum i feel safe thank you so much. Hare Krishna!

hey,

I just read ur thread and same is happening to me. around three weeks ago I had my retina barrage treatment for retinal hole. but I started seeing these flashes and moving white light in peripheral vision towards down side of my right eye. it moves from left to right. it's been happening since five days now. I went to dr and they said my laser is doing good and it's nthng to be worried about but I am worried.

Hello, I am just seeing this post and recently had another laser barrage. The first was in 2019 after a retinal tear. This time an atrophic retinal hole was found on a routine eye exam. I am also highly myopic, have lattice degeneration and have just turned 60. I am active and love traveling but now I am afraid.

I agree that there is little information available that addresses the post-laser recovery. I was asymptomatic but now have tiny black dots that seem scattered and suspended in my field of vision - intermittently. I just saw my retinal specialist and he said everything is stable.

I am afraid to close my eyes in the dark because I occasionally see a little white flash or other visual disturbances. I believe they are called phosphenes.

I know I have to continue living my life but this is very difficult, as there is no way to prevent this from happening. At least reading that I am not alone in this is somewhat comforting.

Thank you!
