I have myopia with 5 and 4 power in my right and left eye and recently started seeing flashes. I also have retinal degeneration. I've seen four doctors two recommended barrage laser as a precaution while the other two said to wait unless my retina detaches. I'm 28 and unsure if I should get the laser done now or wait. If I do go for it, should it be done in one session for both eyes or split into multiple sittings? What would you suggest?

Barrage laser can prevent retinal detachment in high-risk degeneration; it‚Äôs usually safe to do both eyes in one sitting‚Äîgo ahead if advised by retina specialist.
