This laser penetrates deeper, causing hyperthermia and occlusion of blood vessels with less damage to the surrounding retina. This leads to a decrease in subretinal fluid as well as a decrease in overall tumor size.[journalofoptometry.org]
A 70-year-old male presented with blurredvision of the left eye (OS). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/60 right eye and 20/160 OS. Biomicroscopy revealed bilateral cataracts.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Amblyopia (lazy eye) As the tumor blurs the vision, the brain gradually ignores the blurredvision from that eye and the eye drifts or crosses (strabismus).[sturge-weber.org]

You may have blurredvision, wavy or warped vision, or floaters, shadows, or sparks of light in your vision. How is a choroidal hemangioma diagnosed? A choroidal hemangioma is usually found during a routine eye exam.[drugs.com]
The most common symptom in patients with CCH is blurredvision secondary to macular edema. If complications do arise, there are several treatment options available.[journalofoptometry.org]

Treatment The decision to treat a CCH should be individualized. The physician should base treatment on the extent of symptoms, loss of vision, and the potential for visual recovery.[retinalphysician.com]

Prognosis. Sturge-Weber syndrome, with its neural involvement, leads to seizures that can be intractable; it has been associated with developmental delay and behavioral problems.[retinalphysician.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for all forms of nevi tends to be good with iris nevi showing enlargement in less than 5% of cases (Territo et al., 1988).[atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
Melanomas with predominantly spindle cells have thin elongated cells and imply better prognosis. Epithelioid cell type melanoma has round cells and imply worse prognosis. There are two basic types of melanoma by genetics: high risk and low risk.[fighteyecancer.com]
Visual prognosis is good unless the hemangioma involves the macula.[eyewiki.aao.org]
Diffuse choroidal hemangiomas can be associated with systemic Sturge-Weber syndrome and have a poorer long-term visual prognosis due to coexistent amblyopia and glaucoma.[retinatoday.com]
