What is retinopexy?

Retinopexy is a medical procedure used to treat retinal detachment, a condition where the retina separates from the underlying tissue in the eye. The procedure typically involves using a laser or freezing technique to create scars that help reattach the retina to the back of the eye. This intervention aims to restore vision and prevent further complications. Retinopexy is often performed on an outpatient basis and can be effective in preserving vision if done promptly.
