How effective is prophylactic laser for preventing fellow eye RT/RRD in patients with lattice degeneration who underwent uncomplicated primary RRD repair? NRR Journal Club with VBS moderator David Xu, MD, and panelists Prethy Rao, MD, and Barton Blackorby, MD, summarize a recent study that explored rates of fellow eye RT/RRD in this patient population by comparing cohorts who did and did not receive prophylactic laser in their fellow eye. The group dives deeper into the data to see how PVD presence, myopia severity, and phakic status affected rates of fellow eye RT/RRD, and asks whether and how these data can be applied to a modern surgical strategy.
