I have diabetic retinopathy and my eye doctor mentioned i might need this laser treatment soon. But im 5 months pregnant now and got worried whether it's safe to do during pregnancy. Has anyone gone through this while expecting?
This is an eye laser treatment usually for diabetic retina issues, so it is really not something to decide from a community group. Please let your eye specialist and your gynac talk and decide together. With pregnancy involved you want the experts handling it, na.
My doctor once mentioned that some eye laser procedures can be done in pregnancy if the retina problem is serious, since vision loss is a bigger risk. But it is fully a specialist call based on your reports. Honestly only your retina doctor can tell you for your case.
I dont have real knowledge on this one so I wont pretend. It sounds like something that needs proper medical guidance, not a guess. I hope your eye doctor explains everything clearly to you.
This is quite a specific medical procedure, beyond what most of us here can answer properly. Best thing is to take all your scans and ask both your eye doctor and gynac. They will weigh the timing and safety for you.
I can understand you must be worried reading about all this. But this is one of those things you must not decide on your own. Sit with your doctor, ask all your questions, they will guide you safely.
