It is a very high-energy bright light that, when directed and focussed on to a retina, is absorbed by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). [retinadoctor.com.au]

No retinal complications were observed with the various forms of NRT used, but six patients in two studies with micropulse laser experienced pigmentary changes in the retinal pigment epithelium attributed to excessive laser settings. [journals.lww.com]

Laser treatment causes thermal damage, particularly at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). [healio.com]

Recent experimental research with new laser devices using much shorter pulse duration has shown that photoreceptor damage can be greatly reduced and the retinal pigment epithelium selectively targeted, hence the term selective retinal pigment epithelium [clinicaltrials.gov]

Silicone oil may be used if the retina has been detached for a long time or retinal scarring is present. Laser or freezing treatment is used to seal the retinal tears. [visioneyeinstitute.com.au]

Trauma and Retinal Scar derekl: I was hit in the eye as a child 30 years ago, resulting in a torn retina and subsequent scar, leaving a large center blind spot. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

scarring and associated complications of conventional laser, namely, loss of visual acuity, reduction in color, night, and contrast vision, and the rarer, more serious issues of choroidal neovascularization, and epiretinal fibrosis have not helped its [ijo.in]
